Miniature golf stroke, also known as putt, is a type of golf shot in which the ball is hit with a putter and is intended to travel a short distance. Putt is a four-letter word used to describe this type of golf stroke. Miniature golf stroke is usually used on a miniature golf course, which is a scaled-down version of a traditional golf course. The goal of the stroke is to get the ball into the hole in the fewest number of strokes possible.
