You’re Not Missing Putts Because of Your Stroke

🧠 Stop Blaming Your Stroke for Missed Putts

If you're not making enough putts, the issue might not be your stroke — it might be your green reading.

PGA Tour coach Ralph Bauer has seen it all, and one of the biggest mistakes he sees golfers make is blaming their mechanics when the real problem is misreading the break. His system — used by Tour pros and amateurs alike — is designed to fix exactly that.

Let’s break it down.

🧩 The Real Problem: Misreading Break

Let’s say you play a putt to break one cup. But that putt actually breaks 11 inches. You miss it low, and your brain says, “I pulled it.”

But you didn’t pull it — you just under-read the putt.

Ralph’s Tour Read system helps golfers identify slope accurately so they can stop guessing and start rolling in more putts.

 🔬 The Tour-Level Data

• Tour players recognize only 70% of total break

• On perfect surfaces, pros make 92% of 12-footers

• But on real greens, they only make 32%

🧨 That’s a 60% gap, almost entirely due to misreads and speed control.

 🛠️ Fix What Matters

If you're grinding away on your putting stroke, but not working on reads — you're leaving strokes on the green.

✅ Understand what actually caused the miss
✅ Stop second-guessing your stroke
✅ Train your eyes and brain to read break better
✅ Use Tour-level tools to sharpen your instincts

🎯 Ralph’s system is trusted by players with over $450 million in Tour earnings. It works — and it’s a game-changer.

🧠 Key Takeaway

Want a Tour-level read? Don’t walk around the putt. Walk to the right spot.

And if you want to take it even further, Tour coach Ralph Bauer built a full green reading system called Tour Read Golf to help you master this process on the course.
