Golfers in all parts of the country will experience wet conditions from time to time. For us in the south, winters bring thin, dormant grass that has wet soil beneath it creating an unpredictable tight surface. Some of the hardest shots under these conditions around the greens. I have found that if there is no deep grass or obstacles in front of you, using a hybrid or fairway wood is the least risky play. The way that hybrids are constructed allows a player to use a putt/chip stroke to just get the ball lifted above the grass and will produce a predictable rolling shot that will surely not get you in trouble. More often than not, it will get you close to the hole.
How:
- Use your highest lofted hybrid or fairway wood
- Use your basic chip setup
- Grip to the bottom of the grip
- Make a chip/putt stroke
- Keep your hands ahead
Most of you will find that this shot will take off much faster than a putt or chip. But with practice this will become a go-to shot under tight or wet conditions.
