30 Drills and Golf-Fitness Exercises to Do Before the End of Summer
4. Reading the Break Drill
Reading greens is a combination of judging the slope and pace of a putt. It is a skill that you develop over a period of time, but you can accelerate the learning process by being consistent in your preparation and routine. Develop a consistent pre-putt routine that is easy to repeat and stick with it no matter what length putt you have.
During your pre-putt routine, visualize your line and distance. Read the break from behind the ball so that you’ll know where to aim your putter. Double-check the line from the other side of the cup (but don’t take too long doing this and besides you should be doing this while others are putting). You can even walk the length of your putt and count off your steps as a way to gauge the distance of the putt (don’t take too long).
On-Course Exercise
Test your green-reading skills by finding a sloping putt and placing a tee at the apex where you believe the ball will begin to break towards the hole. Hit several putts towards the tee, monitor your results and adjust your alignment at necessary.
Off-Course Exercise
Next time you watch a professional golf tournament on television, listen carefully to the announcers when the players on the greens and you will pick up a few green reading tips.
