I can’t imagine how hard it was to learn to golf 20-30 years ago before KZbin even existed.

lol....I learned 35 years ago. Watching it on TV. I lived right next to a golf course. So it wasn't hard to see good and bad swings. Ultimately, my step father taught me some things. The proper grip and stance. After that it was all about ball flight. You learn real quick in order to make the ball fly differently you have to do things differently. If you hit a slice you have to do the opposite to hit a hook. As a kid this comes fairly easily. My driving range was an alfalfa field next to my house. I used clubs that were from the late 20's early 30's. They are persimmon woods with blade irons. The shafts are painted brown to appear to be hickory at a distance with leather wrapped grips. That's how we learned before KZbin and the internet in general.

Oooh, looks like a slippery putt coming back. But this was helpful, thank you.

Now a question, should i trust my initial read or the read from behind the hole more ?

Always go with your first instinct. Try this drill some time. As you walk up to the green you have to hit your putt within 10 seconds. Your brain will have it figured out in a matter of seconds as you walk on the green. We as humans have a tendency for overanalyzing things. All of that extra information just clogs up the efficiency of your brain and gets in the way.

Out of curiosity, for those watching this, does him missing the putt add more legitimacy/weight to his words or less? Genuine question. With how many takes they could have done, they went with this one.

PGA Tour average from 20-25’ is 12%, and it’s more about the process ot reading the green. The focus from 20-25’ should really be trying to get it there while leaving yourself the easiest two putt if you miss.

More great putts are missed than made. The definition of a great putt should be defined by you in your mind. For me it's simply did I hit my target with the intended speed. If it's yes to both it's a great putt. If it didn't go in. That could be because of a bad read or improper speed or some other external factor that I may have missed. All of those are separate items external to my definition of a great putt. I may have chosen the wrong speed, but if I hit it where I wanted to and with the speed I wanted, I can't ask for anything better than that. Making putts because you pulled or pushed it or hit it harder than you really intended are just lucky makes. Over the long run, I believe m definition will result in more makes. Since I switched to that philosophy my birdie average has gone from just under 1 per round on the average to just over 3 per round. And those aren't short ones either. Just my .02 cents

And this is why in 15 years I have NEVER taken a cart. I walk and carry my clubs, it allows me to feel the ground. I've never seen a great golfer in my life who plays in a cart every time, they are losing out on so much information by not not walking the course

How do you read grain?

It helps having a caddy that knows every square inch of the green too. 😅

@zareh805 9 ай бұрын

Well. That certainly is a process. I walk to the hole, feel the slope, bend down behind the ball, envision my line, stand over the ball and tell myself “you will make this putt.”
