Essential Guide to Golf Putting : Read the Green

Reading the Green:

Be aware of the conditions

Weather conditions play a huge part in the speed and direction of a putt. As you approach the green think about how the weather will affect the roll of your ball.

The putting green will be cut every day, usually early on a morning. The grass will be cut in different directions. The direction the grass is cut will determine the lay of the grass. This is called ‘the grain’.
