Looks workable in a pic, but a video will probably show how umbrellas and rain are always an awkward combo. I was kind of hoping someone made a giant umbrella hat.

Um. lol.

Why don't you just, you know, practice in the rain? Sure you'll get wetter than a normal round, but wouldn't that be the best type of practice? Something on my head like that and I feel like I wouldn't be lining up putts right. As weird as that sounds. Especially since it doesn't technically interfere with my swing at all. Would just seem like one of those weird feel things.

I practice putts in the rain on occasion. The most important thing for me is to know the relative speed change of a known green speed and bead. So I use a practice green I know very well. I also will typically wait until the rain has lightened up a bit so my grip doesn't get soaked, but the greens themselves are still saturated and do that (crappy) water pull-up thing when rolling (flinging water up and around).

Best of luck to you. I think it's an important skill for those of us who will actually play in the rain. I played in a vendor tournament through my work on the Saturday of Hurricane Matthew and it was quite wet! lol! (in central NC)

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
