As opposed to “put and do something else”?

Phonetically, put: /pʊt/ vs. putt: /pʌt/

ʊ is the sound from words like “book”, “hook”, “pull” or "should.

ʌ is the sound from words like “gut”, “double”, “butter”, “luck”, etc.

Put is something you do to something (I will put this down), putt is a technique in golf (watch me land this putt).
