Great simple video, sometimes when your playing with a group it’s easy to overlook putting to keep pace of play but just taking a few seconds to gauge the putt will help. Will definitely be using these methods. 👍
Once again, a simple but very useful video, that everyone can understand and relate to. Your channel has been a game changer for me. Every golfer should subscribe. Thank you so much for what you’re doing Alex, you have a real knack for demystifying this game.
Why thank you kindly Shaun! Very glad to hear it and yep, would certainly help others if they all subscribed! Hope you enjoy our programs and resource on the website too Cheers!
Great tips. Thanks for sharing. For my personal taste, and for me it does work for the line where to aim, is the imagine an arc starting from my ball and ending in the hole. Then I aim at the apex of the arc. Then chose a closer intermediate point to aim easier. Let me know if it works for you but hey, don't share this with too many people :D
@@huddybozak8803 Of course, never up never in! The way I "see" the arc taking form is based on the speed of my putting, which is always aimed to go between 50cm and a meter long. There can be multiple arcs curves of course, depending on the speed of the putt. The arc gets too curve if the ball speed is too low (aimed to stop at cup-length), so I love to attack it a little bit when I'm confident.
INteresting video and I do perform pretty much everything you discuss. However, I seem to struggle reading downhill putts. I'll swear a putt is going downhill with a break one way only to find that it actually broke the OPPOSITE way. I then end up with a tester coming back, or worse three putting because I read the green incorrectly...and I'm actually a pretty good putter!! Not sure if you're still monitoring this, but any thoughts or help would be appreciated. Thanks
I really don't get the "feel" of the slope. Unless there is decent slope, I really don't feel marginal slope. This kills me because something will look flat or relatively left to right and it will actually go right, but I can't feel that at all when I am standing there. Anyone struggle with this?
Great video. Feel the green that agrees with your eyes. Pace is WAY more important that line. Leave yourself with a 30 to 40 cm second putt is much better. Holing a 2 to 3 metre putt every time is unrealistic in reality.
I agree with most of what you say; however, instead of choosing an aim point, what you have to do is choose the right path, and then start the putt on a tangent to the first few inches
For some reason if I miss one it really bugs me. So I won't go out without checking my belt loops. I guess a psychiatrist could analyze my entire personality using this one silly quirk.
you drive for show but you putt for the doe hahahahahahha i hate the flag in cause it makes the ball jump out i dont like to just die the ball in the whole that not the correct way to putt i was told 40 years ago to be good putter you want the ball to go 18 inches by the cup an with flag in the ball jump out cost you birdies
You might want to check out the actual testing done by MyGolfSpy when the rules changed to speed up play, that allow the flag stick to be left in. I believe they came up with around 30% more puts will drop if you leave the flag stick IN THE HOLE. I'll take all the help I can get.
@@tomdiebold79 removing the flag does not slow up play in my group closest to hole after approach removes flag last one in puts it back in my experience flag out more puts drop when in you have to consider wind forcing the flag to one side making hole smaller or if hole is at an angle same thing hole can be smaller on one side but to each their own

Yes exactly.
I always step off distance from the fairway, but never did this on puts... Makes perfect sense ! Thanks for this, I know it will help.
It’s simple but should help

This has helped me so much honestly
Well that’s great to hear and thanks for coming back to share it
what if your drunk and can't feel your feet walking the green??
That could be used to your advantage... just think be the ball and sink it :)
Good one
Been there!
Simple don't play golf ,go back home,if u sober after then come back and play golf👍
John Daly?
Excellent tips
Glad you think so!
Great Help!
would love to hear how you pick out an intermediate point
After reading the green.. choosing weight
Then pick a blemish

Sounds spot on well done
If it's and arc and you aim at the apex you will miss low unless you hit the ball harder.

Always monitor as best as I can! :)
Try hitting putts slightly out the toe 👍👍
Great lesson.
Glad you liked it!

Anyone struggle with this?
Try looking for the highest point on the green and imagine water running from it like a river..
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf what about the case scenario where the putt in generally not moving much? Maybe a ball to two balls outside the cup?

Yes indeed! Good way to look at it
Great tips thanks
Hope they help Ryan
Drive for show putt for doe ! Putting is so tricky
It’s a key and an art. 🏆
I agree with most of what you say; however, instead of choosing an aim point, what you have to do is choose the right path, and then start the putt on a tangent to the first few inches
⛳️🤜
Even looking at the cup and determining which way the water would flow is hard
Great tips and advice...but my buddies kept getting mad every time I poured my water bottle in the hole :)
LOl!
would it ever be acceptable to a putt is breaking right instead of left to right???
🤷🏻♂️ not sure what you mean sorry
what i meant to say would it ever be acceptable to say this putt is breaking right instead of left to right??? they have similar meanings.
Your putt to the tee peg looked more like you didn’t hit it high enough, than you hit it too hard.
Bit of both. Also a bit of chatting, puting, filming, swinging, sweating in the 100 deg heat involved lol!
Just what I needed to hear & see 👏
Super. Hope this and out others help you too!
he missed a belt loop
It happens too often lol
For some reason if I miss one it really bugs me. So I won't go out without checking my belt loops.
I guess a psychiatrist could analyze my entire personality using this one silly quirk.
Now I understand why my partners walk all over the greens before they putt! And, not one of them bastards said a freaking word to me as to why. 😆
Lol. Just start following this quickly and don’t say anything :)
Bravo!
Hit the ball in the direction of the hole...it may drop in
🏆
Correct even a machine lined up perfectly rolling the ball at perfect pace doesn't make them all from outside 10 feet.. the hole is ridiculously small
Gauge
The best way to read greens is to use an app that laser slopes the entire green for you. 😂
It's not as hard as that
What’s the app names?
Wonderful video but that’s what we are used to from Alex. 😁🏆
M Hendrix very kind and hope it helps:)

That is GAUGE, NOT GUAGE!!
🤦🏻♂️ edit error
Get to the point geez sorry man
🤷🏻♂️🏌️♂️👍
How to Spell Like A Pro
It's 'gauge' not 'guage'.
🤦🏻♂️ not my spelling but my eyes missed it
Boring
🤷🏻♂️⛳️😊
Didn’t help me a bit
Sorry to hear that.
Too bad
