Reading putts has always been a bit mysterious. Should you pay attention to the grain, where the body of water is, the setting sun or just guess. Well, I'm sure everyone at one point has done all of the before mentioned. The reality is reading putts comes down to three things:
1. Finding the slope in the green.
2. Estimating how much slope there is.
3. What angle is the ball in relation to the slope.
These three keys are the essence to green reading. When you do this correctly you suddenly can determine which direction the ball breaks. There shouldn't be any more guessing involved. Wouldn't it be nice to stand over a putt consistently knowing the direction the ball breaks. It can be done. More later.
