Gaz's Golf explores the challenges of putting on winter greens, focusing on the significant reduction in ball speed due to moisture and longer grass. The video emphasizes adjusting expectations and stroke length to manage distance control effectively in damp conditions.
Focus primarily on speed rather than perfect lines, as winter greens are often too bumpy for precision tracking.
Be more aggressive with your stroke; the added friction of wet grass requires a firmer hit to reach the hole.
Clean your ball and the putter face frequently to prevent mud or moisture from affecting the launch and roll.
Expect less break on putts because the slower green speed and friction tend to 'hold' the ball on its line longer.
