I feel like I've figured out the distance control on the greens...however reading them is a whole different story. Is there a system, or any tips anyone can provide me to help me make more putts? I miss them on the high and the low side so I don't even have a consistent miss. Any help would be appreciated. I'm sure there is a thread already out there on this but in my searching I can't find exactly what I'm looking for so I thought I would ask.

You will find tons of very helpful tips here in the driving range. But to be honest, in the end, it all comes down to practice, practice, practice. Just get tons of rounds in and it will shock you how it kicks in. I read all the tips when I was starting out, some helped me some didn't. The one's that didn't help, would sometimes help others, the ones that did sometimes didn't help others. Read as many tips as you can and apply them to your game. Keeps the ones that work for you and stick with them. So many people asking for tips and then they end up with tons of advice, but it may not be helpful to YOUR game. Play a round and apply a new tip. If it doesn't help try another till you find one that seems to benefit. In the end, if one doesn't help, you have played a ton of rounds and your game will probably have improved anyways. The Tips are like buying a ticket to a ball game, it may get you in the stadium but it won't put you on the team. Good luck with your journey and I hope to see you on the links.

The best advice I ever read was to go into putting view (B on an XB controller), then pulling back on the stick. It'll bring you right to ground level, allowing you to see the breaks more clearly. Also, from there, pressing down (clicking) the left stick will show you a 180-degree view. Again, you can pull down on the left stick twice to bring you to ground level.
Also, once in the putting view, press the Y button to zoom to the putting marker. From here, you can adjust the camera angle. I like to put the camera right down at shoe level and press either forward on the stick or RT to move forward. This really highlights the actual breaks of the green, since the moving reticles aren't always accurate (i.e. some putts look like they'll break and don't, while other look straight and aren't). Hope this helps.
