Hard Holes Made Harder

[pganapathy]

Wind has never been an issue for me.  Yes, it alters the length of a hole, but unless it is a headwind with a forced carry over water/hazard/OB, it doesn't matter as you will be nGIR rather than GIR.  What really affects my golf game is a wet ground.  I don't know why, but when I know the ground is wet and soggy after a couple of days of rain, I tend to mishit a ball I shouldn't, by chunking it 😢

That’s because you’re always hitting it just a bit fat even in normal condition but the ground makes up for that mistake. So in soggy conditions it’s even more important that the whole divot is behind the ball. An “easy” fix is to just play the ball a bit behind in your stance when playing in such conditions, kinda like if you were playing from a fairway bunker.

Hard holes are harder in difficult conditions.  Hell, all holes are harder in difficult conditions....

 

 

This one’s a bitch in wind.
