About this episode

Phil Kenyon discusses a simple drill to help amateur golfers improve their green-reading skills.

Phil Kenyon is the top putting coach in the world. And one thing he notices is amateur players often under-read their putts. He came up with this drill, which he explained to LKD, to help ensure putters both properly estimate the amount of break and, critically, aim accordingly.
