Rained in DFW yesterday, and my son and I raced out to play 5 holes in an hour before dark - it was cart path only. Next time I bring the SM 2.5 bag to carry. I'd like to report how I did in the wet but the course was draining well. I did grip down a tad, and attempted not to rush from the top, allowing me to get weight forward. Worked on everything but the driver...lol. I still rush the driver... working on it.

Well the course was a little wet yesterday, not a pond like when I started this thread, and I tried out some of the ideas you guys had and I was hitting the ball much better in the wet conditions.

I think clubbing up, choking down and putting the ball a little forward was what I needed to do in this situation.

Thanks to everyone who contributed!

Didnt want to start a new thread, this is close. What is the best way keep your grooves fresh and toothy ? My new clubs are great right now but.....I wore my last set out with range balls, i learned that lesson. Is there a way to give your clubs a tune up?

At the range, keep a wet towel and clean the club after each shot, or after a few shots, depending on conditions. Sand on golf balls eventually wears down your face. You need a break anyway between shots to reflect. Use your timeout wisely. Use a wet towel.

The above is the easiest long term way to keep your face and grooves refreshed. Good luck.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.
