Best way get down low to the surface, hold the club up directly out in front of you, and then just shut one eye look through your dominant eye. So if you are lining up puts and you are really struggling to see the contours of the green and you are hitting puts left let them break further left or hitting puts right then break further right, maybe the plumb bob method will help you. Effectively you can see what’s the high side and the low side because you’ve got this vertical axis to look from. ![]() You can then look to the left side and right side of that vertical line and you can actually start to see the contours of the green a little bit better. The way the technique is set to work, is that if you can hang something vertically downwards which is a plumb bob putting like this, gravity just pulls it straight down. So maybe they know something I don’t know, maybe they are using it to help them line puts up. And I’ll be honest with you, as a golfer, I’m still thinking what is he doing here because I have never seen the benefit of doing this, but I’ve seen a lot of people who use it religiously use it every round of play. And as a know golfer watching like you think what is he doing here. Now we all know from watching golfers on the TV they have some quirky little habits and this is one of the strangest I find, you see a guy walk up onto a green and he’s surveying his put and then he starts holding his club up like this and looking down.

Understand that you’ve got to break that putt into three sections flat, slope, flat. So when you are on these two tiered greens understand you’re in a difficult situation you no longer try to make the putt you are just trying to take two putts. I can have imagined the flow of the water over the surface and how the water would react because I know my ball will react in the same fashion. Now you can see I gesticulate quite a lot with my hands when I am talking but I also do that when I am reading greens. So if it’s downhill I just need to get the putt to the top of the slope then it will race down the hill and then it work its way to the hole. Well obviously the tier being uphill or downhill will greatly affect the line but also the speed. And actually spend a bit of time really walking the length of the putt, feeling with your feet, looking with your eyes how would the ball react now how will it react now how will it react at the end. And if I can read those three sections this will be relatively flat, then there’s the big slope, then it’s relatively flat again. The second section is how will the slope affect the putt and then then the third section is what will it do when it’s on the next flat section towards the hole. The first part would be what will a putter do on my relative flat section before it gets to the slope. The best way to actually read the green is actually to break it into three parts. ![]() The chance of actually making that putting one go is pretty slim depending on the severity of the slope. Now if we imagine that you’ve got yourself onto the wrong tier how do you then read that green, how do you putt well from the wrong tier? Firstly you have to understand you’re in a difficult position and the ideal – the ideal scenario here would be taking two putts, first putt close second putt in. Big tier at the back, big sloppy Mackenzie slope, and then another tier at the bottom. You’ll see on Augusta National quite a few greens with big slopes and then big tiers, and probably the ninth green most famous example. So that severe slope is often called the Mackenzie green after Allister Mackenzie golf course designer who originally actually laid out Augusta National. How can you improve your putting on two tiered golf greens? So initially we need to look at what is a two tiered golf greens basically two separate levels possibly separated by quite a big severe slope. ![]() Why Do Some Players Read Their Golf Putts With A Plumb Bob Method (Video) - by Pete Styles
