In this series of articles designed to help you sink more of your Putts in the 10 – 20 foot range,
we’ve identified that most amateur golfers can be easily confused by the actual direction of slope,
and how much a Putt slopes. Research tells us most golfers “under read” break, so we want to improve that. 

Find a sloping 20 footer (6 – 7m) on the practice green. Read the Putt, and then place a tee peg at your ‘aim point’,
based on what you think is the perfect ‘read’ for a Putt with the right pace.   

Aim at your tee, and take a few Putts at the correct pace. Was your aim good? Make an adjustment now that you’ve experienced the actual break;
if your tee position isn’t perfect, place a 2nd tee in the ground at the perfect read, and now see how many you can sink out of 5 Putts.   

The reason we want you to put the 2nd tee in the ground is so that you can easily start to visualise whether you consistently
under or over read, and by how much. You can start to measure by how much your green reading is improving. 

What percentage of these Putts do you sink? Is it never to very rarely? When coaching golfers, we find,
along with a suspect and inconsistent Putting stroke, they often struggle to read the break,
and then don’t seem to either identify their “aim point” or, if they do, they still aim under that.
Learn the correct process and sink more of these Putts.
