Hi all!
I write about breaking putts and putting lines and I try to check everything relevant that is published concerning my niche.
Recently a golfer that claims to be also "a shooting sports instructor" posted an article about the dominant’s eye role in green reading and said that " the dominant eye needs to be on the uphill side of the break", that is, sometimes reading from behind the ball and others from behind the hole. I never heard that and don’t understand why it could be true but I tested the concept and it seems to work fine.
I invite all those who seriously read greens before putting to also test this tip and give feedback because if it proves to be true, it’s a gem that has to be shared.

Sounds like nonsense, but I previously googled it anyway.. Make a circle with you finger and look through it at a fixed point. Close your right eye, then your left. The point will disappear when you close one of them, that is your dominant eye.

Sorry for the late reply but I wasn't notified of your posts. New policy in TSG?
If you don't know which one is your dominant eye, do this:
a) With both eyes open, use your index finger to point to an object in front of you.
b) Without moving your head close your left eye. If your finger remains aligned, your dominant eye is the right one.
c) If it doesn't, open the left eye and close the right one. Now your finger must stay aligned and your dominant eye is the left one.
