Over the past year, I have met some great golf professionals on Twitter.  I know I’ve said it before but if you use it correctly, it can be very informational and enjoyable.  For me, it has also been a great networking opportunity.  I have met and enjoyed discussing golf with many great golf pro’s from all over the world.  This summer, I will be heading over the pond to visit some of the coaches I’ve met.  While I am there, I will be giving a couple AimPoint Green Reading clinics.  See my AimPoint Golf Page for more information on AimPoint.

One clinic will be for the general public and the other for golf professionals.  I am arriving in the UK on July 19th and will be leaving on the 26th(the week after The Open).  Sometime in that week, the clinics will be happening.  I believe they will be held in Cambridge and hosted by Jamie Donaldson.

I will post further details as they become available.

Please leave a comment if you are interested in attending.

There was a thread started on Mark Sweeney’s AimPoint Golf forum that I thought would make for a great post.  The thread is talking about the difference between the Zero Line and Fall Line.  The Zero Line is what Mark Sweeney calls the line which has a net zero break.  This means you aim at the center of the hole.  It may be a straight putt or a double breaker that nets out as a straight putt.  Learning where to find these Zero Lines is one of the many things you’ll learn by coming to an AimPoint Green Reading Clinic.

Here’s a pic from the forum showing a green with a Red Zero Line and Blue Fall Line.

AimPoint Zero Line vs Fall Line

You can see from the picture how similar the zero line and fall line are when near the hole.  However, when the fall line goes up the large shoulder, the zero line doesn’t follow.  The zero line is offset from the high anchor.  It does this to create a double break over the shoulder that brings the aim back to the center of the hole.  You can see the putt would miss right if aimed at the hole from the fall line on top of the shoulder.
