3 Expert Tips To Match Line, Speed and Read When Putting

Golf Monthly Top 50 Coach James Jankowski holing a putt on the green and demonstrating a drill for reading the green in golf.

Putting is arguably the most crucial area of the game, but without the right putting tips and practice drills you might not be reaching your full potential on the green. Every putt you face on the course can be broken down into three fundamentals – the line, the speed and the read. 

To put it simply, you have to read the putt to accurately identify your desired line and speed, and you need to be able to start the ball on your intended line, with a ball speed that matches your intention. You can practice all of these skills on some of the best putting mats on the market, or at your local practice putting green, but putting in the work is the only way to see positive results on the course.
