Definition

‘Putters’ are golf clubs designed specifically for gently hitting (putting) the ball on the green towards the hole. ‘Putters’ can also refer to people who move slowly or work at something in an unhurried way, but the golf meaning is most common.

Usage & Nuances

'Putter' is most commonly used for the golf club, but rarely means someone who moves slowly (chiefly UK informal). In golf, use 'putter' for short, gentle strokes on the green. The plural ‘putters’ means several such clubs or people. Don’t confuse with 'putters' as a verb (to putter) meaning to move aimlessly.
