A putt that never reaches the hole never has a chance to fall in. On the other hand a putt that has the distance to get to (or past) the hole always has a chance of falling in - a pebble, unseen break, or huge gust of wind.
An ideal putt is one that has enough speed to roll 12 to 18 inches past the hole. Not only does this putt have the chance to fall in because it is long enough but should you happen to miss it you will be left with an easy tap in.
Always try to strike the ball so that it will roll just past the hole (12-18 inches) if you happen to miss. Remember, 'never up - never in!'
