Putting – Improve Green Reading – Session

September 14, 2009 by admin 

It is a well-known fact among golf teachers and instructors that golfers underestimate how much a putt will break.  Missing a putt on the low side of the hole is often referred to as missing “on the amateur side.”  This is not entirely true as it has also been proven by Dave Pelz in his putting studies that even pros miss putts more often on the low side as well.

Under-reading breaks on greens on downhill sliders is the number one reason for 3-putting greens. Putts always break more going downhill and so the golfer tends to put too much speed on it to compensate for the under-read break. The ball then screams past the hole and leaves a lot of work on the comeback.

This recording is going to address all that and put more emphasis on you trusting your unconscious mind to take in the subtleties of the environment on a putting green, make the proper calculations and then give the
instructions to the cells of your body all on automatic pilot. Because let’s face it…great putters do not guide their shots or strokes with their conscious mind. When golfers attempt to do that, it turns into tension or in it’s
extreme form, the yips.

The 80/20 on improving your green reading:

I would suggest recording on your scorecard all of your missed putts whether you miss on the high or low side. Over a couple rounds, you will see where your tendencies are. Becoming aware of this is the
first step in fixing the problem. If you consistently miss on the high side (you would be in a very small minority), then reverse in your mind some of the messages in this recording to work to improve on your
mistakes.

I would also recommend that once in awhile, you go to the practice green, crouch, and roll balls with your hand and focus on seeing the aimline and rolling it down that line. Then, really focus on the imaginery path it takes. Don’t look to see if the ball goes in the hole or not. Only notice if you followed your aimline and if the aimline was a good one after the fact. This takes away the whole putting stroke and teaches your unconscious mind to zero in on the aimline and improve visualizing a ball path in advance of the stroke. This is an amazingly powerful, but simple method to support the session below:
