Putting and Green Reading

A consistent routine, encompassing sound fundamentals and a repeatable stroke, are the attributes of the very best putters. With around 45% of the game on the green, instruction on evaluating conditions, reading break and determining speed, will increase one putt success rate and dramatically improve proximity to hole.

Determining the correct speed consistently is achieved through a better understanding of the three components of the putting stroke. Executing these components successfully is what develops feel, and this produces a natural confident stroke. Evaluating conditions and green reading is easier than most golfers imagine, and can be achieved efficiently and rapidly on each hole.

Lastly, understanding the “odds” helps to reduce unnecessary anxiety and pressure on the greens, and is key to developing the correct mental approach to putting.

The lesson goal is to take the students existing random putting approach and focus it into an efficient and simple routine.
