Why is a putter used from off the green called a Texas wedge?
Many players from Texas used this technique because of the tough wind conditions there. Using a putter keeps shots low and the winds influence minimal. Ben Hogan popularized the technique and the term in the 1950s. Why do hooks run when they land, while fades tend to stop more quickly? A hooked or drawn shot is generally produced by a closed clubface, a fade or slice by an opened one. An opened face creates more loft and thus higher shot with more backspin. The closed-face shot tends to fly lower and have less backspin. Why do many pros insist that their caddies carry the golf balls in their pockets? This practice is called warming the eggs. Many pros believe that warming the golf balls help them fly farther. While warming does enhance the elasticity of the ball, it would require illegal means to raise the temperature of the ball to get any significant benefits from it.
