- Unless you're putting on a pool table, this is an unreasonable expectation.
- Foot prints, spike marks, ball marks, imperfections/disease in the grass,
- and even the time of day are among the many factors that can make an absolutely straight
- 10-foot putt unsinkable. Even for the top pros, a 90% success rate from 10 feet
- is extraordinary, if not impossible, and there are numbers that back this up.
