According to the course manual, what percentage of players have been professionally fit for their putter?

• A. About 5%
• B. About 20%
• C. About 15%
• D. About 1%

Answer: (A)

The point this question tests is how common professional putter fitting is. The course manual states that only about 5% of players have been professionally fit for their putter, which is relatively rare. This small figure highlights how most players use a putter off the rack without tuning it to their own stroke and eye line. When a putter is properly fitted, you’re more likely to have the face square at impact, a more repeatable stroke, and better distance control, all of which help the ball roll online. The idea behind the statistic is that fitting is an underused tool for improving putting, rather than something nearly everyone has actively pursued. If you’re serious about putting, pursuing a professional fit can address many subtle mismatches in length, lie, loft, grip size, weight, and balance that influence feel and alignment.
