Wet Conditions
July 2, 2009 by admin
photo credit: Manchester-Monkey The speed of a typical green changes naturally as the day wears on. In the morning, the dew, or dampness from watering, will create greens that hold better and putt slower. In the afternoon the greens will dry out and get much faster. Being aware of this natural occurrence can make a huge difference in your scores.
In the morning hours or after a rain, be sure to use a firm stroke since the wet greens will slow the ball down. Also, when reading a putt, play less break than you would otherwise. The wet grass will tend to hold a ball on line better.
With your approach shots, go right for the pin, rarely will there be much roll on a wet green. Do not forget to repair your divot mark/s.
