Performance Tip

Reading Greens

Reading greens effectively is one of the three key skills you need to be an effective putter.

Here are some tips on how to improve this skill:

1. When reading a putt, don’t just look at your line. Try to get an overall picture of the green, it will usually only slope one way.

2. Go to school by watching your playing partners’ putts, it can only help you.

3. Don’t rely on your caddie if you take one. Always try to read the green yourself first. This is a skill you can only develop through experience.

4. Feel the slope with your feet as well as seeing with your eyes.

5. Select the pace at which you want the ball to enter the hole (dying in, medium or firm), before figuring out the line.

6. If you have time, circle the hole looking at the putt from all angles.

7. On a breaking putt, the start line is higher than the apex of the putt.

8. If in doubt, hit it straight

9. Once you’ve picked your line, don’t change your mind. Your second choice is rarely right.
