GOLF PUTTING TIPS: OBSERVE OTHER GOLFER’S  PUTTS

One of the best golf putting tips is to observe the break and pace of the putts of other golfers in your group. 

Even though this advice works best when your ball is in the vicinity of the ball being putted, you can gain a better perspective of the general speed of the green by studying the putts of other players in your group – even if your ball is not in the near vicinity of the ball being putted. 

When it comes to long putts the pace of the putt is more important than the break of the putt unless there is an extreme break.

This is not to suggest that the break of the putt is not important.

Nonetheless, by studying the putts of others in your group, you should be able to negotiate the break better.

I recently heard a well-known golf instructor suggest you should try to roll your ball several feet outside the apex of your aim line rather than directly over the point of the apex.

Most golfers do not allow for enough break for their putts, especially if there is an extreme break.

Nonetheless, it makes more sense to observe the putts of other members of your group in determining breaks and adjust accordingly rather than just assuming you should aim several feet to the outside of the apex of your aim line to adjust for the break.

When you observe the amount of break allowed by a fellow member of your group whose ball is in the vicinity of your ball and, who putts before you, you will be provided with the best possible information about the break of your putt.
