8. Defend the green through its position

"The majority of players desire to hole out in two puts on each green if they are putting well. They desire to experience some little difficulty in doing so, because otherwise they would derive no pleasure from success. Therefore a perfectly flat green would not satisfy them. On the other hand, when they have avoided the bunkers of the fairway, when they have eluded the traps which guard the entrance, and have played their ball on to the putting green, they do not like to find it is lying in a severe form of hazard".
