grain
THE LONG AND SHORT OF Here’s an illustration of what happens to mainlanders putting against the grain: The ball doesn’t quite get to the hole. If you’re golfing on the Bermuda grass courses of the islands, make it a habit to go to the hole and look to see the grain direction. The side of the hole with a nice, smooth edge is with the grain – this is your faster putt. The raggedy side is against the grain, which is why this putt came up short.
