Putting. It’s arguably the most critical part of every golfers’ game. What’s the line? Should I try and hit it harder to take the break out of it? How do I avoid 3-Putts on firm and fast U.S. Open style greens? In this episode of The Game Plan, Golf Digest Senior Editor Luke Kerr-Dineen dives into the data of the often unrealized putting strategy Tour Pros use to avoid disaster and make more putts.

I would much rather have a 6-8 footer up hill than a 3-4 footer down hill with break on fast greens but that's probably why I am a 10 handicap🤣
This is the VERY best golf content, thank you!
1:02 ohhhh I went to pinehurst and JUST NOW SEEING THAT THIS WAS HIM😢😢😢
Courses near me in PA, putting when you’re off the green isn’t an option due to the higher, thicker rough. Taking your lowest lofted club you can use for the shot however, is usually your best bet.
It’s all about the drip. RIP mr Stewart
Note Payne used a bullseye putter, still the best putters around for feel.
Crap to confuse you
tl;dw: they practice every day
most of the courses i play have that crappy turtle shell shape….and elevated greens…. and small , firm greens almost make it impossible to hold any kind of second shot to the green. always have to hit it short and hope it rolls up to the pin. any type of miss either bounces off the back or rolls off the sides. very frustrating, especially for weekend golfers just trying to enjoy the game. courses need to stop doing this crap
Instructions unclear….I 5 putted
Added benefit of over-reading. When your subconscious knows what the line is then if you hit it too low, you’ll actually hit it a little harder in order to make it. Over-reading will make you hit it a little softer. Result = closer second putt.
RIP Stewart
Why do we never see a putting video on a green that is in the condition that most golfers usually play on?
A hidden strategy is to putt into the hole or close to the hole…
Loved Payne Stewart. RIP. Great golfer, great style. Nothing was boring about Payne
SO TRUE
John Daily commented is kind of unprofessional, you are playing for the big pay-check and you are top world ranking suck it up and finish your jobs, faire or unfair who cares?
They also make 99% inside 6 feet.
LOVE Golf digest giving away all the secrets!!!
Is it just me or does the 10 min video not really tell us much. Except for “over reading putt” which doesn’t even tell us how to over read putts”. They are like yeah they have to put good and only miss it by 2 ft so they don’t miss by 6ft because that’s their strategy. Ohhh I get it their strategy is to play good golf ?? Dangggg I wish I would’ve thought of that. I’m going to start magically reading putts now. And they didn’t really even really tell us what was Payne Stewart’s strategy. All they said was get close to the hole. Like duhh okay don’t we all
"Harman at the European Championship" You mean The Open?!
They didn't mention the rainsuit Payne Stewart was wearing when he won the 1999 US Open. He cut the sleeves off so it didn't interfere with his swing.
Who's here after seeing Bryson win for Payne
@5:50, missing high still leaves a tricky downhill putt, no? , rather than a longer but straight up hill comeback. Which is the better scenario?
Blub blub blub blub blub…
Avoiding a 3 putt is easy if you just do it in 5
