If y’all didn’t stick around to the end, you should… it’s in your best interest if you like free golf balls ;) Hope you got something out of this video! Learning how to read greens gives you a method to rely on & helps you avoid the dreaded 3-putt 😨. Remember: all you do is start the ball on your start line at proper speed, and the ground does the rest of the work! Good luck out there everyone 🍀
Brilliant video, I learned some things. You're a natural at camera work! My humble 2c: I think you may be gesticulating too much with the hand that's not holding the club: when there is a ton of hand movement there it distracts from your face and what you are saying. Thanks!
I struggle to putt in windy conditions here in the UK when my trousers flap and I find it difficult to concentrate due to the distraction. Do you know Claire if there are any ancient golfing rules that say I as a bloke, cannot play my round wearing a skirt like yours?
Claire is a breath of fresh air for the channel. Not only pleasing on the eye and very natural in front of camera, she really knows her stuff this is probably the best putting tip on RUclips.
I always picture a clock around the hole and read the break based on the fall line. Same idea as Claire and it really does work. Once you get it down, you can read a green in seconds really. Putting has always been pretty simple to me with this approach. Great tips Claire! Keep up the good work.
Free golf balls or not, what a great teaching lesson! Well laid out and very well explained of exactly what and how to look for and find key points on the green. Explained so even the young golfers can understand and learn. Bravo Claire well done!!
At 67, I have just found a new sport! While my long game has a long way to go (sorry, bad pun!), my short game has saved me in all three rounds that I have played. This video will be a game-changer; now I will intentionally do what I have been just lucky to do. Great instructor, giving such clear and understandable training. I've subscribed!
Best instructional video 2022 to the present. Good visuals tee markers, great result, and fluid movement through the presentation. Very smooth and clean presentation skills. YOU GET AN A!
Excellent video. I am twice a month golfer and do well putting but when you said the last place you look before stroking the ball will determine where it will go, was a light bulb moment for me. I promise my last look will be to my high point! You and Paris make a great team. Thanks for the videos.
This is remarkable content! Instead of leaving everyone wondering "How does she do that?" you have given us clear, easy-to-understand guidelines that should help even the worst green reader. I can't wait to get out and try these for myself. Thanks, Claire, and thanks to Mike and Marko for recognizing the potential in two amazing young women.
Good golf tips for sure, but Claire actually gave me inside tips on getting a golf skirt for my GF which has paid HUGE dividends, she loves being on the course now!! Thank you again Claire!
Hi Claire, Excellent instruction. You really laid that out in a very easily understood manner. In watching the visual of your explanation and technique, I realized that, for me, the biggest reason for missed putts is mostly due to inadequate “reads” of the green surfaces (undulations), combined with a propensity to inevitably stroke for the hole. I now see the benefit of aligning the path along the high point and its relationship to the established (estimated) fall line. What you’ve shown us is really quite scientific and makes a lot of sense. Well done and appreciated!
OMG, this is the best tip on reading greens video I have ever come across on RUclips. This has been one of my biggest problems is reading greens. Thank you Claire, I'm saving this as a Favorite so I can go back and review when I have putting struggles.
Excellent analysis and technique for determining fall line, high point and the balance between speed and slope. Clear and concise on a difficult topic. Nicely done.
You ladies have been teaching me so much I love watching you guys ear off I'm just starting off learning but I think I played better than a beginner continue watching you lady so I can go out and kick some more ass
I have been practicing putting to brake points to get to the hole. Your clarity on how to read this is perfectly clear. Thank your so much for helping me more. As always you are a gem with great golf skills. Keep teaching us more. Best of regards to you and your chanel.
Very clear and intuitive instructions. Even a dumbass like me understood what you were talking about. Will definently give this some time on the greens. Thx for taking the time to try and tutor us.Thumbs up Claire.
Claire! You are a good instructor! I really enjoyed the very forthright and simple breakdown of a real putt. I also appreciate the pace of play tip. I know it is easy for the casual player to spend too much time on the green as a spectator instead of a player. Thank you!
i've played golf for years and never had this precise instruction for how to read a green! clearly her results speak to her knowledge! cant wait to put her advise to practice!
Great reads. I always look for the green's high/low points and if there's water nearby. These give me the initial impressions on how a putt will travel. Your reverse engineering point is well taken. Also any burns in the cup will give you its fall line plus the knap or grain of the grass helps in determining pace. Good stuff. Keep it up.
Great breakdown of the steps to read. Liked the idea of setting up these drills over and over as a way to begin to see those breaks intuitively on the course. Many great tips here. Glad you and Paris are taking over the channel. The two of you were always the biggest draws. SUBJECTS FOR FUTURE: How to strategize shots on the course, when to play conservatively vs. aggressively, stories from CSSM what you learned about golf and competition, how would you prepared club golfers for their club championship, how do you use your eyes in a put, what is your pre-shot routine and why, and of course, more play on the golf course.
The very first video on the net with which I walked away with actionable information on how to make a clean lag put. Can't wait to get out to our practice green to give it a try. Thank you.
Great advice Claire 👏 You’re amazing… you present so well ! I love watching GolfHolics when you’re on. I ‘liked’ the vid within the first 10 seconds ! ⛳️ 🥰
Thanks Claire. I learned a lot from the video. One suggestion, most people know you’re a great putter but if you started the video with a compilation of some of your incredible putts it would remind them of your greatness and make them more excited about following your advice.
I didn’t know other people use fall line terminology when reading putts too. I always thought of it like skiing down a mountain and the fall line would be the fastest way you would travel if your skis were pointed in that direction. I putt and chip that way always looking for the fall line. Excellent video!
This was so informative! I've always been a feel putter, so I tend to get the weight right, but get the line wrong a lot. I'm definitely going to put these concepts into practice. Thanks for the video!
I've always been a pretty good putter. But I've always had trouble reading greens. Thanks for the tips Claire. Super helpful. Thanks and have a Super Fantastic Day.
Claire, your putting and overall short game has improved immensely since your early appearances on this channel. I think I'll find this instruction very useful. Thank you.
Concise explanation of fall line and high point. Like 👍🏻 to see you talk about how speed affects break on uphill/downhill putts. People don’t know or forget that aspect of putting (how downhill putts typically break more). Also, the Taylormade TP5 and TP5X are the best balls in golf. Best ball for putting based on RUclips reviews. Also longer off the tee. I love them. So great 😀!
This was such a precise breakdown of putting. Wow! Great technical yet understandable information. For this old duffer this is the most useable and hopefully transferable lesson on putting I've seen. Thank you so much!
Hey Claire. This is the first video i have seen on reading putts which focuses on the technicalities. ie. fall line, high point, entry path, etc. I will definitely have these in mind when walking onto a green to read my putts. Takes away the guess work and makes it systematic.
Great tips all around. Too many people don't think about their putt until its time. They just hold their club up like a pendulum and try to read the general break. Reading others putts is so important to determining if you are putting into the grain or not, and if there are some hidden breaks. The 2 point putting drill is key because people tend to look at the hole when they putt and not at their target, which is more important to hit.
This was probably the best video I've seen on green reading, including stuff on Golf Channel. I think the latter stuff about pace of play was hugely important and is something very few help videos/series ever get at but it's probably most golfers' number one frustration. Teaching to read properly and keep scores down while not slowing the course was a great way to finish.
First time I’ve ever heard the terms “fall line” and “entry point.” Thank you for sharing your knowledge and teaching clarity. Now, off to the putting green to practice!
So happy that Claire is part of the takeover. Love the show. The funny part is I don't golf myself, but I love to watch folks play. Getting pretty close to learning. Nothing like an old man learning a new sport. Why not 😁
I spent the better part of my 30’s as a golf instructor, I wish I was able to so clearly explain green reading to my students as Claire just did. Maybe I would still be doing it??? Well done!!! Love this channel
Great video! I use these tips every time and they really work. I believe speed is the aspect that most golfers forget about and they only focus on line.
I love watching tip videos like this as this is the first time anyone has mentioned a fall line and now you have it makes perfect sense, I am now thinking why have I never thought of that before. Thanks for this one and keep them coming 👍🏻👏🏻
Great tip on the fall line. Also setting up the gate on the up hill putts really helps. When the putt breaks a lot you are not looking at the middle of the hole. So you need to find the path/gate to make the putt. Great video
Fn fantastic lesson , exactly what I needed to hear, see, and learn about. Way better than just imagining the path of the ball even though that works too …. Thanks , ill be recommending this vid
I really like this drill. Great presentation skills too. I have saved a lot of good putting drills and this is among my top faves. Keep up the great work Golfholics!
Cracking video...I thought it was a weathergirl audition at the start with the hands 😂 but wow Claire can putt!!!! And I've always found putting boring on "TV" as it's hard to appreciate the break and oscillation but this really showed it well and have a theory to try! Thanks
Where was this video yesterday before my tourney??!!?? This really made me think about how I map my putts. I gotta go to the course asap and try this out. Great stuff!
2 realities... Never has there been this many men willing to be the end of a golf putter handle for half a day... and It really is one of the best tutorials on reading breaks these same men have ever seen.
Great video. Thanks for the tips. The downhill breaking putts are the toughest. The high point and fall line tips should be a great help. Thanks Claire !! Keep the videos coming.
Great video. The most important part is that, to read a long putt or any putt that breaks more than just a little, you start at the hole and work backwards to where the ball is. On a really fast green with a downhill putt you figure out how far uphill from the hole just nudging the ball will send it all of the way to the hole, then aim at that point so the ball almost dies there then dribbles downhill all of the way to the hole.

For one who has played golf for 60 years, this is putting gold. Thanks for the practical putting tips.

Spot on!! I look for the same thing, knolls, water, etc :)
Claire even brushed her hair from the high point and down the fall line. Such dedication to her craft.

Great advice Claire 👏
You’re amazing… you present so well ! I love watching GolfHolics when you’re on. I ‘liked’ the vid within the first 10 seconds ! ⛳️ 🥰
This video seriously helped me read putts better. Thanks Claire!
You make it look easy. I would probably never put that much thought in the putt. No wonder I was never good at golf but I loved playing it.
I realise I always look at the hole last.....didn't realise I even do that until today. Thanks Claire.

Thanks for including tips on speeding up play and maintaining good etiquette, these are so missing in today’s game.
Putting tips from the putting Queen! Best putting instructional video ever!!! Thanks Claire! Taking notes for sure.
Claire, I enjoy the tips, and just how good you and Paris are at the game.
I'm pretty sure I could sit here and watch/listen to Claire talk about anything at all for the rest of my life. Quality content 😍
This was so informative! I've always been a feel putter, so I tend to get the weight right, but get the line wrong a lot. I'm definitely going to put these concepts into practice. Thanks for the video!
These tips help make putting more fun. Fun usually equals better results. Thanks!
I love this video! Green reading is never taught and that was perfect! Clear and easy to understand and practice.
Liked immediately...Claire’s a great putter so it’s bound to be useful ...also very comfortable in front of the camera..👍🇬🇧⛳️
I've always been a pretty good putter. But I've always had trouble reading greens. Thanks for the tips Claire. Super helpful.
Thanks and have a Super Fantastic Day.
Have to give the instructor an A+. Easy to pay attention to her. BTW, I could make that long putt in 3 strokes, maybe in 2
Claire you make learning better golf techniques so much fun, so happy that you and Paris are fronting this great channel, look forward to many more.

Thanks for the great tips. Have never looked from the hole first, so will certainly try it out 👍
Great to see help with green reading and some good tips on reading and speed of play
Pretty explosive explanation of really complex problems on the putting green...🙌🙌

Nice approach! I've never personally mapped out a break like this. Will be doing it next time we can hang on a practice green for a bit...
