There is no black magic to reading greens, it's all basic common sense.
I have a small bag of chicken bones and rabbit poo which I hang around my neck before teeing off. Are you saying I was ripped off?

Do you need to do the course Homer or is the DVD worth it ?

I don't bother spending much time trying to read greens, as I have found I can't hit putts on the line I have chosen anyway.
I did hole a nice 20 foot birdie putt at the weekend after I pulled the putt at least six inches left of where I was aiming. :thup:

Just stick it on eBay with a description of Aimpoint and somebody will buy it off you :thup:

Ah, you have putty-pullitis! I find that wearing a stiletto on my left foot cured this.

Not sure the greenkeeper will be happy, but I am game to try anything. You wouldn't be kidding me, and it is really the right foot it should be worn on ?
Best start off with both on, then alternate at each green to find out which best suits your limp
To be honest the DVD is crap and certainly not worth whatever they are charging but it does give you the tools to use Aimpoint express. Personally, I feel happier having spent time with Jamie Donaldson the European instructor in a very small class as I could ask questions and pick his brains on various things
Aimpoint divides opinion every time but makes me laugh that it's always those that have never tried it and never will that are always so vocal on it being rubbish and a waste of time. Bet they said the same when metal drivers came in or we switched to the 1.68 ball

I didn't rubbish it. I just said that it is still guesswork.
Unless you can tell me it's not........?

its all just guesswork
I use "The Force"...
All the guesswork takes out it does....
Suggest you look for Jamie Donaldson on google and put your questions to him. It's based on scientific fact but the bottom line is simple and I and others have discussed this and the science behind it before and it always descends into tit for tat arguments so ask the expert if you really are interested in the facts behind it. Not prepared to go through all the silliness and people looking for cheap jibes (not directed at you!) again
Whether you think it works or not is personal and I'm not going to push my view as definitive although I think it's more than guesswork

You need to do the course, unless you have a green near your tv 😁
our greens tend to have a more subtle break so you need to look from all sides, but i only tend to do this if in a comp. bounce games just pick a spot i think its would break from and hit it to that.

Would you recommend just doing the Aimpoint Express or is it necessary to do other courses to get the full info?

Pay particular attention to the ground/slopes around the hole as the ball will turn more as it slows down.
