How can you adjust for moisture on the golf course? This is particularly noticeable when you are playing early morning golf. And it’s either rained overnight or there’s have been a heavy dew overnight. So when you go out in the golf course and the grass is really moistened and the greens are quite damp, there’s a couple of things that you can adjust to make sure you can capitalize on those situations and still play your best golf. Generally water on the golf course is going to make the golf course play a little bit slower, so when you’re landing golf balls on the green it will spin and stop a little bit quicker. When you are putting on the green it’s going to slow the ball down, needs hitting a little bit harder ideally you would take some time on the practice green before hand, make sure you are getting used to the speed of the greens before you go on play.

Then when you’re actually playing ball from the fairway on to the green notice that if the grass is quite damp and the ball is sitting down in that grass particularly in the semi rough or rough as the club comes in to the grass because that grass is wet it’s so much heavier as the club hits in to the ground, it’s going to slow the club down more. So we are going to need to take a little bit more club maybe an extra club or two extra clubs, a little bit more grip pressure to really drive through that wet grass to get the ball out that long enough on to the green.

Now there is one of the flip side of this which is the occasions where you might get a flier, a flier is when you have a lofted club playing from a decent lie but there is a bit of wet grass stuck between the club and the ball, normally the club would hit the ball and then par back spin. But when you play a flier you get a flier the grass sits between the club and the ball gives it a little watery feel so the ball doesn’t get as much spin. Will often go further and when it lands on the green it shoots over the back of the green. You will sometimes see this when the world’s best players are playing the shots on to the green and certainly they fly it 20 yards over the back of the green it looks a bit out of character for them because normally they are so good at yardages. But that’s happen because they got to flier they got water or wet grass between the club and the ball and it shoots off too far. So generally when you are playing on the golf course there is moisture in the early morning you need to take more club when you are playing on to a green you need to hit the ball a little bit further, a little bit harder and hit the plucks a little bit harder, but just watch out for that awkward little flying lie where the ball catches the flier and goes further than it should.
