How to read your putts with Andy Sullivan

Green reading can be a tough skill to learn no matter where you start. It is one of the least intuitive skills to pick up when learning the game, but knowing where to hit the putt when out on the golf course is a huge part of shooting a good score.

Improve your clutch putting with Andy Sullivan

European Tour winner Andy Sullivan gave us a putting clinic Richings Park Golf Club near Heathrow, and gave us some stellar tips for boosting your green reading skills on breaking putts.

In this video the Joburg Open winner teaches us the importance of reading all of the green, not just where we are aiming. He suggests reading the putt from behind the ball and then also from the low side of the putt. This gives you a much better look a the slope of the green, especially on longer putts.
