chipping off wet mud!


Recommended Posts

SUCKS
How the hell do you chip off real wet mud?

I played a comp yesterday and it pissed me off because i had to hit some chip shots off wet mud to a raised green so i had to kind of open the face up, and flubbed 2 shots! Its too hard!

Its fine with a 8 iron bump and run, but off wet mud, lob wedge and you have to add abit of right hand at impact to get it to land softly!

IMPOSSIBLE!

I personally wouldn't use a lob wedge. A higher bounce SW would do the trick much better. How do you guys use a 60* in wet conditions to chip anyway? My shots don't move more than an inch from where they land in those conditions... flying a shot 1 inch from the hole off a mud lie is one I have yet to master.

Agree with the above posts...

but you can also play it as an explosion shot...higher risk of course.

Messy, Messy, Messy!

 

I have had this situation before and firmed a FW off of the side of a hill and it made the green. Thought of using a 3-4 iron to! Left me about a 20 footer for par!

 

How far away was the pin?

How much green did you have for landing?

How much higher was the green than you?

Was this more mud, more grass or a mix of both?

Was this shot your only option or could you have played off a hill?

 

 

Played a normal chip, remained level, weight slightly forward, took club to about 8:00 and picked it clean as best I could. Reason: Didn't want to get all mussed up with mud and water so I kept the 8, 9, PW, SW, and LW in tha bag!

Hitting anything out of mud is messy and sucks. In general, including chipping, I try to stay stable, with less weight shift try not to over-twist my shoulders and hips. A muddy lie is also accompanied by a muddy stance, so you must prevent your feet from sliding during back and down swings. I liken playing out of mud to not wearing golf shoes, you just have to stay even more stable to prevent sliding feet.

 

Also, playing in mud more often helps too. You learn real fast what you should and should not do...
