What if you have a long putt and the grain is only half way there??? what do you do?? can you see that grain although its not around the cup.......

If your putting toward the clean half your going down grain (put will be faster) and if your putting towards the ragged half your into the grain (put will be slower). Cross grain puts will tend to break toward the ragged half of the cup, especially when loosing speed. Learning to read the grain is a key to avoiding the dreaded friggin three put on the Bermuda hybrid greens found in the Villages. Golf on : )
