In this quick tip video, Brit Golf Dad explains a proven green-reading method used by legendary champions like Jack Nicklaus. He demonstrates how leveling your eyes with the horizon and scanning back and forth across the green reveals the macro topography of the putt.
Level your eyes against the horizon first to avoid misreading slope due to tilted vision.
Scan back and forth across the slope like a radar scanner rather than staring down a single corridor.
Prioritize the macro read (ridges, dips, overall slope) as it dictates most of the break, then inspect the last 3 feet for subtle changes.
