Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the overuse of the term "grain" by golf commentators. Grass grain, the tendency of grass leaves and stems to grow in a certain direction, is described as a randomly varying phenomena with little real effect on the results of golf putts. Uphill and downhill slopes are described as the real influences on ball speed and direction. |
