"Putt" is a term used in golf to refer to a stroke made on the green or putting surface. It is the final shot taken on a golf hole, typically made with a putter, aiming to roll the ball into the hole. Putting requires delicate touch and precision due to the relatively short distance between the ball and the hole.
