Tami’s Tips to Reading Greens

Train With Tami
A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of meeting Natalie Gulbis, LPGA Tour Player at the LPGA Tour event at Thornberry Creek at Oneida.
I watched Natalie Gulbis walk all around the green then squat down at various locations to read her putt (pictures in this article).
Once she gathered her data, she was prepared to execute the putt. This is so unlike the average golfer that tends to rush their putts without any thought about reading the slope of the green.
If you want to improve your putting skills, try these green reading tips the next time you approach the putting green.
So, the next time you approach the putting green, remember to pay attention to the overall terrain and the slope prior walking up to the green. Once on the green, observe the color variation and feel the slope with your feet. Finally bend down low to see the slope from various locations.
Familiarizing yourself with the green ahead of time will make it easier to read the green for more accurate putting and lower scores.
