Camilo Villegas: 7 Easy Moves for a Better Game
Get a Better Read on the Greens
Dropping down to green level gives you the best perspective
My green-reading posture isn't just for show it gives me the angle I need to determine exactly how much a putt breaks. I didn't always drop down to the ground like I do now, but I've always tried to get as close to the surface of the green as possible to read putts. Often, I'd step into a greenside bunker to set my eyes near the level of the green. But you don't even have to do that. Most modern courses feature elevated greens, so there's a good chance you can get your eyes close to the putting surface by standing a few yards off the green. Try it a few times and you'll see how easy it is to get a consistent read. It's the same principle as hanging a picture on the wall. You check if you hung it correctly by looking the top edge of the frame and seeing if it's leaning to the left or right, and you hang most frames at eye level.
