Introducing OnePutt — Why Putting Matters

2025-08-21

“A three-foot putt counts the same as a 300-yard drive.” — Henry Cotton, 1934 Open Champion

Putting is where golf quietly decides your score. Many tour pros will tell you the same truth:

Putting often influences half of your total score.

Why Is Putting So Hard?

On the course, a putt is never “just a roll.” It blends multiple skills:

  • Accurately reading the slope of the green
  • Proper alignment at setup
  • Solid impact and distance control through the stroke

You need all of them to come together for a successful putt.

Professionals typically follow a similar routine: they lower their viewpoint, look from several angles between ball and hole, analyze subtle breaks, and mentally simulate the line.
That entire process is green reading.

But most of us aren’t pros. We’re tricked by similar grass colors, undulations, shadows, and even our own nerves on the day. It’s easy to miss the one stroke that matters most, especially under tension.

The Idea Behind OnePutt

This is where OnePutt began—a simple question from golfers who truly love the game:

  • Why does a putt feel easy on a simulator but shaky on the course?
  • If the initial aim is wrong, can great touch really save the putt?

Our conclusion:

“If you can read the green correctly, your putting changes.”

From this conviction, we built OnePutt, an AR-powered putting guide that helps you visualize and trust the line.
