Here are some simple tips which may help you with your putting.
 
If you wear sun glasses when you play, the tint of the lens may affect how you read the green. The best tint to read the greens and see the slope is cinnamon, light brown, gold or orange.  Stay away from polarized lenses.

Calibrate the speed of the greens before you play by practicing 20’, 30’, and 40’ uphill and downhill putts. 

If the greens are faster than you are used to practice only the downhill putts.  If the greens are slower than you are used to practice only the uphill putts. 

If you tend to push your putts to the right, play your ball position up in your stance.
If you tend to pull your putts to the left, play your ball position back in your stance.

Practice putting for at least 15 minutes before play.  This is time well spent to get used to the speed of the greens.
