Putter is not used to send the ball a great distance rather it is just used to tap the ball slowly so that the ball moves towards the hole. So the putter is used for the short distance to move or roll the golf ball along the grassy ground towards the hole situated nearly.
Putter is different from other clubs as the clubhead do not have any groove so it has flat and low profile clubhead. A good putter is used to gives a smooth stroke, perfect glide, and good precision.
Therefore the statement is false that says that to send a ball a great distance putter is used.
