Reading the greens is a difficult skill to develop for most amateurs. There are many factors to consider when determining the change on each putt. I wish I could give you a 100% guaranteed process for sinking more putts, but I can’t. It is a skill that is developed over time as you become more experienced reading greens. However, there is a brief overview of the five aspects of putting that every player should know. I realized there are many more as your skills improve. However, this is a great place to start.
The guide presented here covers the five areas of reading a green that you should focus on when you first start developing your short game.
Of course, the aspect of understanding the relationship between speed and line will come with time. Additionally, developing a feel for how far your ball travels at any given time is another skill that must be learned. But first, reading the green using these five steps is a good start.
Putting is a very unique skill that every player must develop. Every time you step over your putt, consider it a learning experience. You learn something different from each putt to suit the conditions of that putt. This information is then stored in your database so that you can recall it in the future. There is no real secret to being a great putter because it is a skill that must be practiced to fully understand what it takes to sink each putt.
I consider myself a pretty good putter. Some days I’m not so sure, but overall I’ve developed a putting style that works for my game. I use the five basic steps for every putt, regardless of distance. If you want to improve your short game, consider adopting the above basics when reading a green.
