"A curious anomaly is found in a review of golf literature of the
past fty years. Ninety percent of the literature deals with moving
the ball from tee to green. Although there are hundreds of books
and articles published on putting they deal almost exclusively with
grip, technique, and stroking the ball. Practically nothing is
written on how to read the green and estimate or calculate how much
a ball will break." - H. A. Templeton, 'Vector Putting' To
illustrate the general lack of advice in golfing books on reading
greens consider the weighty "The Complete Book Of Golf" published
by Colour Library Books. In its 520 pages the advice on putting
makes up just twelve pages and most of that small section is
devoted to stance and wrist action rather than reading the green.
And yet is on the putting green that shots are lost and games
sacrificed. There are eighteen tee shots in a game but a medium to
high handicap player will take as many as thirty-five to fifty
putts during a game. Reading the green is an essential component of
a successful game of golf. This book rectifies this deficiency by
explaining the way that a golf ball rolls and breaks after being
hit. What happens after the ball is struck is outside the control
of the golfer. All she can do is watch and hope she hit it to set
it off at the correct speed and in the correct direction. This is
where this book will guide you to better putting. "I would say that
each day I holed between 2-5 putts that I would not have holed
using the naked eye to judge. That is a huge return for someone
with my handicap (six) representing a saving of nearly half of my
handicap each round " Unsolicited praise from a fan of my work.
