Green reading is one of the most overlooked skills in golf — and one of the most learnable. The Green Reading Clinic uses the Tour Read system to take you from watching the methodology in action all the way through to applying it confidently every time you step on a green.
Every golfer has stood over a putt they were confident about and watched it miss — not because the stroke was wrong, but because the read was wrong. The line was wrong. The speed was wrong. And no amount of technique can compensate for a fundamentally incorrect read.
Most golfers practice their putting stroke. Almost none practice reading greens — because they don't know how. Tour Read changes that. It's a structured system for reading greens accurately and consistently, used by tour professionals and now available to every golfer at The Playing Academy.
"You'll see players on the putting green every day working on their stroke. You'll rarely see them working on reading greens. That's where the shots are going missing — and that's exactly what this clinic addresses."
The lowest barrier entry into green reading that exists. Come and watch Gary demonstrate the Tour Read system on the putting green. No coaching, no participation — just observation. See exactly how Tour Read works, what it reveals about a green and what becomes possible when you can read putts accurately.
At £15 with no limit on numbers, this is designed to be as accessible as possible. There's no pressure to take it further — but most people who watch it want to.
Observation only · No coaching · No participation required
Gary demonstrates the Tour Read system on the putting green. Attendees observe the methodology in action — how greens are read, what the system reveals and how it translates to holing more putts.
The hands-on clinic puts Tour Read in your hands. Gary guides a small group through the system on the putting green — real putts, real greens, real application. You learn the methodology by using it, with Gary coaching every player through the process.
The clinic is being launched at a reduced introductory price of £75 — a significant saving on the full price of £149. This launch price is available for a limited time only as Gary introduces the clinic to The Playing Academy.
4 to 6 players · On the putting green · Full coaching
Apply the Tour Read system yourself with Gary's guidance. Small group session on the putting green — real greens, real putts, full coaching throughout. Every player leaves with a working understanding of the Tour Read methodology and how to apply it.
The 6-week programme brings everything together. It's not just a green reading course — it's a complete putting programme built around three connected elements: read it, stroke it, make it. Tour Read green reading methodology, putting stroke mechanics and execution under pressure, all developed together across six structured weekly sessions.
Each element reinforces the others. A better read makes the stroke more committed. A better stroke makes the read more effective. Practising execution under pressure makes both feel natural when it counts. Weekly 90-minute sessions in a small group of 4 to 6 players. Contact Gary for programme pricing and availability.
