Green Reading Quiz

[boogielicious]

67, but I only checked 1 in the "Check all that apply" question (Duh!).

[DocWu1948]

I got a 13. Just call me three putt (and pickup).

I took it a second time just clicking randomly and got a 40.

So putts don't break toward the water in general, and never uphill. Well, I learned something for tomorrow's round.

53. Darn it.

Use that image of pouring a big bucket of water on the green.  Where would the water flow?  Never flows uphill, just gravity.

A fun question to ask someone if they say putts break towards water it, "Which way does it break on the 17th at Sawgrass?"

Well, that's not a great question. Everyone knows it breaks towards the water.

What is "angle to slope" in the first section? I have not heard this term before.

A. True (Correct Answer)

B.False (Your Answer)

...

I read it as "Uphill putts never break" instead of "Putts never break uphill."

I got it wrong too.

Score 53.

90° or across the slope, straight up or down it, etc. Get thee to an AimPoint clinic Michael. :)

Same here. What's 'stimp'?

[lostmyballs]

Greens don't give multiple choice questions, so I think this quiz is kind of silly. Give me some pictures of greens and I'll tell you how they'll break.

Argh, I took the first class and I still got a 47.

Got a 93 the second time around

To be fair, I haven't been focusing on putting as much as I should. I'll eventually start reading the Aimpoint forums.

[carpediem4300]

40 - dont get half of it

[dsc123]

73.  I have taken aim point.  Most of my wrong answers were on question 1.

[TourSpoon]

I scored a 73 and was dead-on with question #1. I did fall for the putts never break uphill...duh, they always break downhill (or they don't break up the slope, they break down the slope). I haven't taken an AimPoint class, but I have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express.

In the last AimPoint clinic I did I had someone time me. From the moment I arrived at my ball to the moment a 15-foot putt was struck (I made it), I did a full read and pre-shot routine (and replaced my ball) in 22 seconds. :)

I know, I know, I imagine with the training it would go pretty fast. I would love to take one of the AimPoint classes so I would actually have somewhat of a plan on reading greens. Right now its guess and go!
