Always Pay Attention to the Roll of the Ball

Always Pay Attention to the Roll of the Ball

Scott Alford

Nothing can replace experience when learning to read the line, so don’t pass on the opportunity when you’re practicing and playing.

Watch the Ball When You Miss:

Hopefully by now I’ve convinced you to be aggressive on your speed.

When your speed is right, and you miss a putt, don’t bury your head and get down on yourself. If you do, you just missed a free lesson on how to hit your next putt. Watch the ball as it roles by the hole, it’s simple to adjust to the line needed to hole the comebacker.

Watch the Ball Roll While on the Practice Green:

With the distance drills, you get to roll putts from different angles and slopes, pay attention to how the ball reacts. Nothing can replace experience when it comes to reading putts, your mind will remember.

As you spend more time on the practice green, pay attention to the roll of the ball.

Watch the Ball Roll Around the Cup When Playing Partners Putt:

When playing partners are putting, pay attention to how the ball rolls around the cup. This will confirm where 6 o’clock is located, and the direction the ball will turn from your angle.
