High Side

The uphill edge of the hole on a sloped green where putts have the best chance of staying in if they hit the rim, as opposed to the low side where balls are more likely to lip out. Understanding high side concepts helps golfers read breaking putts more effectively and choose optimal putting lines. Professional golfers often aim for the high side of holes to give putts the best chance of dropping, especially on putts with significant break. High side strategy requires accurate green reading and confident stroke execution.
