For Golf Coaches, Pros, Caddies and Club Fitters
The Tour Read® System is an easy to use and precise green reading method and app proven to immediately lower the scores of players at all levels, including Tour pros, top amateurs, weekend golfers and beginners.
The Tour Read® System Green Reading Method is a scientific, step-by-step approach to green reading, without any voodoo, that you can teach to players of all abilities. Golfers get accurate reads quickly, consistently, and repeatably, even while under the pressures of competition at the highest levels (or when playing for a few bucks with your buddies).
At the heart of the system is the patent-pending Tour Read Golf app which helps students learn and practice the Tour Read green reading method.
Not only does it give you the tools to learn how to be a great putter, it allows you to map and analyze all of your putts to identify and correct weaknesses.
If you share our passion for helping golfers of all abilities improve, you’ll love what the Tour Read Golf Certification Program can do for you. Best of all, your students will love you for showing them something that will improve their games and lower their handicaps almost immediately.
Here’s How Certification Works
When you become Tour Read Certified, you’ll receive 11 one-year Tour Read Golf app one -year activation codes:
- 1 for you ($99 value)
- 10 activation codes for golfers attending your first clinic ($990 value)
We’ll show you exactly how to promote, organize and run a Tour Read Putting Clinic for 10 golfers.
Charge 10 golfers × $100 = $1,000
Certification Investment: $500
Your Potential Profit From Your First Clinic: $500
And every golfer attending your clinic receives their own one-year Tour Read Golf app subscription, so they can continue learning, practicing and improving long after the clinic is finished.
Your certification can pay for itself after one clinic.
But the opportunity doesn’t end when the clinic does.
One Clinic Can Create 10 New Coaching Relationships
With the new Tour Read Putt Mapping features, your students can continue tracking their putting after your clinic.
They can record their putts during practice and on the course and start building a picture of what is really costing them strokes.
Tour Read can help them understand:
- High / Low green-reading biases
- Left / Right miss tendencies
- Long / Short pace biases
- Make percentage
- Strokes Gained Putting
- Which distances and types of putts are costing them the most strokes
The Clinic Becomes the Beginning, Not the End
Now you have a natural reason to keep working with them.
Encourage your clinic participants to use Tour Read to track their putting. Then invite them back for a Putting Performance Review where you can review their results, identify their biggest opportunities for improvement, and help them build a plan to get better.
Instead of running a clinic, collecting your $1,000 and hoping those golfers call you again, Tour Read gives you a natural follow-up.
1. Run the clinic.
2. Get them tracking their putting.
3. Review their results in the Tour Read Golf app.
4. Identify what they need to improve.
5. Book the next lesson.
That can turn a single Tour Read clinic into an ongoing source of putting lessons, practice sessions, putter fittings and future clinics.
For you, that creates the opportunity for a recurring stream of coaching revenue from every clinic you run!

How much can I make teaching the Tour Read green reading method?
Certified coaches often teach the 6-Step Tour Read Green Reading Lesson for $125-$200/lesson. Most coaches do it as part of a standard one-hour lesson.
Small group Tour Read green reading clinics take approximately 90 minutes. You can charge roughly $100/person for up to 20 people at a time. The Tour Read method makes a great addition to a 3-hour putting clinic for smaller groups (charge up to $350-500 per person for groups up to 4).
The initial Tour Read Green Reading lesson is a great way to get new students for additional lessons or lesson packages.
The Tour Read System also helps club fitters to close a much higher percentage of putter fittings. Many fitters provide a “discounted” Tour Read Green Reading lesson with the purchase of a new putter.

We’ll guide you through all the steps and provide you with marketing templates that you can use to promote your lessons and clinics.

Do I need any special tools to teach the Tour Read green reading method?
Who can get certified?
The Tour Read® Golf Certification Program is open to golf professionals, team coaches, professional caddies and club fitters.
I'm a club fitter. Why would I want to get certified?
Simply put, you’ll sell more putters and have happier customers.
Here is the problem with most putter fittings…
Roughly 90% of putter fittings are done indoors and are primarily designed to improve the right/left miss bias on straight putts. A good fitter should be able to improve this bias for every player.
However, during an 18-hole round you would expect to see less than 2 straight putts over 5 feet. Most players have over time compensated for their miss bias with inaccurate green reading. The problem is that when you fix a player’s ability to start the ball on-line through putter fitting without adjusting their green reading they will actually putt worse on the 16 holes where they do not have a straight putt.
For example, if a right-handed player averages a 2 degree pull over time they would learn to compensate on their left to right putts by under reading them and on their right to left putts by over reading them. In this example, they would tend to under read a 10-foot left to right putt by 4.18 inches and over read a 10-foot right to left putt by the same margin.
There are examples of players who have matched up poor green reading and poor technique to become pretty good putters. But it can take years for a player to adjust their green reading to compensate for better start line control.
We’ve all had that feeling after getting fit for a new putter… “It just isn’t the same when get it on the golf course.” Now you know why.
The Tour Read® Golf app will immediately remove any bias in their green reading allowing players to fully reap the benefit of a properly fit putter. They’ll make more putts and LOVE their new putter!
The Tour Read® Putter Fitting Protocol will show you how to supplement your fittings with the Tour Read® System
I'm a professional caddie. What's in it for me?
Your player will make more putts and make more money. You’ll look great!
Professional golf is it is 100% results focused — when you score well, you get rewarded. As a caddie, it’s hard to think of a better thing to be known for than being “a good green reader”.
Each shot is so important now and the margins of victory are so small. The stats prove that putting is a huge part of the game. The quickest way to improve scores is by reading greens more accurately. And if you are putting well, it’s much easier to be confident in all the other areas of your game.
The Certification process provides you with the most advanced green reading training available. You will read greens better. You’ll be able to read greens very quickly and accurately on the course making you invaluable to your player. You will also be able help your player to practice their green reading in off weeks and on the practice green.
