Spam

Slang term for an extremely easy putt, typically very short and straight with no break, that should be made without difficulty. Spam putts are often conceded in casual play and represent scoring opportunities that good golfers routinely convert. Missing spam putts can be particularly frustrating and damaging to confidence and momentum during a round. These putts require maintaining focus and proper technique despite their apparent simplicity, as complacency can lead to surprising misses. The term reflects golf's colorful vocabulary for describing various shot types and situations.
