Video Transcript

"Okay, now you may have seen this after a pro tournament, where a pro will miss a putt, and he takes his putter and he just kind of slams it into the ground, and it bends the shaft ever so slightly. Well, according to the rules of golf, if your putter is altered or damaged in any way, it's an illegal club. So, if after you miss a putt or two, your temper gets the best of you, and you slam your putter into the ground, well, maybe through some type of freak accident where it gets damage on your cart, or you drop it, just not even in anger and it gets bent slightly, you could be disqualified. So, if your putter gets damaged, then you can't use it. So what do you do? Well, you're in the middle of your round, you may want to take a driver, because it's got somewhat of a putter face on it, and try to putt with your driver. So, I prefer to use my driver to drive, but these things do happen, and you have to be prepared for them, so every now and then, practice with your driver putting, because sometimes you can use it off the green anyway. Or, some players will use like a five iron, and they'll choke down on it, and they'll put with that. But if something does happen to your putter, you've got to be prepared."
