Green Reading

5 keys to check before you putt:

Observation:Many golfers focus only on distance,ignoring slope and grain direction.

Truth:Grain direction affects speed,with the grain is faster,against it is slower,stand 3 meters (10 feet) behind the ball,to see the full slope,not just around the hole.

Action:

Use the “Clock Method”,imagine the hole as the center of a clock and read slopes at 6,9,and 12 o’clock,to judge break direction and speed.
