Tight Fairway Conditions

photo credit: josh99smith In today's game, most really good courses keep their fairways cut very low. That means that you have to strike the ball very cleanly to hit a good golf shot. Tight fairways leave no margin for error when contact with the ball is made.
Many Eastern layouts cut their fairways a bit longer which actually makes it easier to hit the ball. You must keep in mind that when hitting from fairways with higher grass there is a greater tendency to hit ”flyers.” When contact with the ball is made, there is more grass trapped between the clubface and ball. When this happens the grooves of the club cannot work their magic and impart backswing to the ball. A ball with over-spin will hit the green and roll much farther.
