1. Pointing did not help me at all. he missed the chance the show how the
   ball rolled. there was even dew on the grass, we would have seen the line
   of travel. If he said Right to left, , 1 ft above the hole. then hit the
   ball we would have seen if he could read the greens. Some golf school!!

2. Excellent tip. My reading of greens has improved tremendously. It takes the
   guessing out and is very accurate and reliable. Thanks

3. Yes, here in the south we do have grain as most of the courses have bermuda
   greens. I always look at the cup, because there will be a “worn” edge and a
   “smooth” edge. The grain would be running in the direction of “worn to
   smooth”. Also the green will look ligher down grain and darker into the
   grain.

4. ZZZZZZ Snore* ..please talk faster

5. @FairwayJack You are 10% correct, that was a typo. It will run “smooth to
   worn” Sorry about that.

6. @golfschools …I always thought that greens ran in direction of smooth to
   worn. Pls advise if I am misunderstanding something. I believe the ball
   would tend to roll towards the worn side

7. Any thoughts on the grain direction ??

8. Great tip! I knew to look for high and low points but I was missing that I
   have to look for high and low points between my ball and hole!

9. That was a very broad overview, almost anyone can stand 20 feet from a hole
   and have a general idea if it will go left or right. Green reading really
   matters inside 10 feet where you are trying to make par or birdie… that’s
   where green reading needs a more specific answer.

10. glad this guy doesn’t play at Carnoustie, or Royal Aberdeen
