One other thing: be aware of your speed of play when plumb-bobbing. But if the greens are fast and you have a long putt, you’ll have to allow for more break than that. That is, if that side of the club shaft aligns three inches to one side of the hole, then that often is how much break you play. That’s something you just have to get used to with practice in order to tell whether or not you aim the exact number of inches to the right or left of the hole for the putt’s break that the plumb-bob is telling you. The amount of break you play on the putt depends on the speed of the green and the distance of your putt. Then you take the average between the two reads. But because of this, it is often wise to also do the same plumb bobbing from the opposite side of the hole. Since your putt will cover ground that you are not standing on, the plumb bob read is really giving you information about the land on which you are standing, not the land between your ball and the hole. The distance that the hole is to one side or the other of the club shaft when plumb-bobbing is always determined by how much the ground is tilted on which you are standing.

Which eye do you close and thus which eye do you keep open and viewing with. Of course, if that side of your club shaft is on the left side of the hole, your putt breaks left-to-right. If that side of the club shaft is on the right side of the hole, then your putt breaks right-to-left. Then you look up to see where the hole is in relationship to that same one side of the club shaft. Then you close one eye and look with your other eye at one side of the putter club shaft as you postion it over the middle of your ball. Either way, you usually have to turn the face of your putter a certain amount to an “open-face” position to cancel the offset of the putter hozel or the center-of-gravity of the mallet clubhead. Most putters have an offset hozel or the clubface is about even with the club shaft and the center-of-gravity of the mallet clubhead is on one side of the shaft. To get the proper plumb depends on the construction of your putter.
What is plumb-bob green reading? That’s where you stand behind your ball on the green on your line from the ball to the hole, hold the grip-end of your putter up with one or two hands (two hands is better), extend your arm or arms straight out at shoulder height, and let the club shaft dangle like a carpenter’s plumb line, thus with its clubhead hanging at the bottom. 59,” Al Geiberger, and constantly watching him plum-bob and make a lot of putts.
