Re: Reading the Green

The average person sees only 33% of the actual break play more break than you and your putts will end up closer to the hole.

Speed is 4 times more important than you line you can read the break correctly but if you stroke the ball too hard your putt will end up far away from the hole, if your stroke is tentative you will end up very short of the hole. Proper speed and the ball will die into the hole.

Use this as an aid, visualize dumping a bucket of water into the hole, now see where the water would drift off to. If the water is drifting to the right then play a left to right break. This works great
