Golfing in the Fall

Golf in the fall means having to deal with leaves, pine needles, chilly temperatures and, at times, soggy conditions.
When playing from an area with thick leaves, play it as you would a sand shot. If the shot is long play it like a fairway bunker shot (ball in center of stance, slightly open stance, hands angled forward). For a shorter shot out of leaves, play it like a sand explosion shot.
Hover the club over the ball, if it's pressed down behind the ball and the ball moves, it's a one stroke penalty.
