Steps to Reading the Green

  • A good shortcut is to ask for local knowledge first.
  • Walking up to the green, consider the big picture.
  • Speed is priority number one so think carefully about the likely pace of the putt.
  • Be sure to go to the other side of the green and double-check.
  • Visualize. Draw it in your mind.
  • Your decisions are made. Commit to the putt.
