The angels’ wings are tied until we permit them to help, and they are more than delighted when we do. Since approximately one-third of a round’s shots are putts, using their assistance on the green is valuable. They have inside information from their bird’s-eye view, and are well equipped to read the greens and provide the putting line…or sink line (as they call it). They’ve termed it the sink line because you intend to sink the putt. The Golfing Angels can formulate a multitude of variables, we cannot possibly perceive on a human level to provide the perfect sink line to ensure sinkability.

My trusted way of getting the sink line is: I mark the ball, identify the break of the putt, and then look toward the cup on the high side for a spot that is brought to my awareness. This spot may be a leaf, an old ball mark, discoloration of the grass, or even the end of the pin lying on the ground. It’s best not to overthink this … whatever first catches your attention is correct. You may find it helpful to soften your focus and go within for intuitive guidance. For added assistance, I find it beneficial to align the line on the ball with this spot.

The video below demonstrates this easy technique.

When I first started using the angels’ assistance, I would determine the spot for my sink line, and then, dreaded doubt crept in. Many times, the angels would provide confirmation when a fellow golfer putted and their ball stopped directly in line with my sink line. I took that as reassurance, and it was. One time, after I saw the spot for my sink line, a butterfly landed on the exact spot … coincidence? Think not! Those are a couple of examples out of the hundreds I’ve observed. Signs are everywhere! You’ll get better at recognizing them with experience. When fear or distrust enters your awareness, ask the angels for validation, and they’ll gratefully oblige.

Believe, trust, and have heaps of fun with the angels on your bag. I can promise your angelic caddies will bring a new level of enjoyment and pleasure by eliminating second-guessing, fear, struggle, three putts, and maybe even the temptation to throw clubs. Golf retailers are not pleased.

Ask away … all you have to lose is stress and strain. Golf is a game, after all.

Determining the speed of the greens, or the speed spot as the angels call it, is a cinch. This technique has been developed over many years with much success. Here’s what the Golfing Angels have to say on this subject in their own words…

“On the practice green, we’ll sharpen your focus and clear the clutter to get you and your putter perfectly polished. Since you’ve already mastered the sink line (earlier post) and are familiar with that process, we’ll get right to the technique for determining the speed of the greens and detecting your speed spot.

First, discern if the putt is uphill or downhill. Walking the line of the putt is sometimes helpful to feel it in your feet or scrutinize the topography for clues. Once you’ve established this vital piece of information, we’ll point out a spot either past the hole or short of the hole. If the greens are running fast or the putt is downhill, the speed spot will be short of the hole. If the greens are slow or you have an uphill putt, the speed spot will be past the hole.

When you ascertain this key ingredient, you’ll laser in on the speed spot as your feel, to gauge the distance and putt away with conviction. This spot will be a discoloration in the grass or a mark on the green that is brought to your awareness. It may even be a leaf, a butterfly, or another player’s ball or ball mark. Always go with your first instinct, cause getting the mind involved will nullify our communication.

With your new sink line and speed spot skills, you’ll be unstoppable. This meritable technique also works at the practice facility, as well as out on the course, of course!”
