putting
Short golf strokes
Putting is the act of placing or positioning something somewhere: She was putting the dishes away when the phone rang.
In golf, putting is specifically the stroke used on the green to roll the ball into the hole, requiring precision rather than power.
A putting green is the smooth, closely mown area surrounding each hole.
The gerund form also appears in phrases like putting up with (tolerating) and putting off (postponing).
