Green Condition to Consider for Approach

November 14, 2007 | under Golf Tips |

The green is right in front of you and what you need to do is to knock the ball onto the green.  When it is time to hit your approach shot, your main objective is to keep the ball on the green. With enough practise (as with all aspects of golf), keeping your ball on the green will become second nature.

There are often situations where you will have to take into consideration the different terrains of the golf course.  Many greens may be more difficult when making your approach shot and some are more forgiving.  The following are some of the factors that may affect the behaviour of the green and thus your approach.

1. Greens that are considered fast due to extremely short-cut grass. This type of terrain tends to send the ball rolling into the fringe.

2. Greens can be hard from maintenance work or lack of rain. This may cause the ball to land and bounce over.  Whereas, greens after rain are slower.

3. Greens that have severe moguls or undulations. This terrain can be tough to hold the ball because of all the angles that it encounters when it lands on the slopes and rolls forward.

4. Greens that are crowned, which have slopes on each side and from every angle. This can make it very difficult to hold the ball in the area.

Happy Golfing…..
