I think one of the great equalizers in golf is putting. A solid round on the greens can really save a round or make it a special day. I see far too often, players mis-read puts on direction and speed. I watch them stalk putts from all sides and still miss badly. A few have asked for my advise and others just keep paying my bets every weekend.
So I thought I’d share what works for me and good number of top tier golfers.
1- break you putts into three section when reading the greens. Pay close attention to the last 2/3 of the putt. This is when the ball begins to slow down and take the break.
2- try to approach the green with your eyes open. Meaning, start reading the green as you walk into it. Walkers have an advantage IMO, they usually approach the greens from
the front, allow for them to read the putt at hand.
3- read your putt from one side of the hole. Behind your ball is more than enough
4- determine if it’s uphill or downhill
5- know the pace of the greens before you head out to play.
