On my golf league this past week, I started a discussion about putting with another guy about getting a feel for the break of greens. And, by getting a feel for percent grade with your feet. He has a laser level that he practices with by trying to get a clear feel of the grade.
I was quite impressed when he patiently showed me his practice... He walked on to a green and got a feel of the green under his feet.... Said it was about a 1.5% ... Laid down a laser level and it read 1.49%! Very cool. Then, he planned his break based on this information. He does this practice on his driveway and marks up different areas with the grade %. I never thought to do something that precise, but am seriously considering adding this to my practice routine. Anybody else do this... Or hear about it?
