Instruction

With the current dry spell of weather we've been having the course has firmed up a considerable amount making it difficult to play certain shots. The ball will tend to run through the green compared to the much wetter conditions of the winter. It is important to take a little more care when playing shots around the greens as the ball will roll on after it lands on the greens. 

One tip is to focus on the landing area when you are playing the shot, around this time the landing area will be considerably shorter with the firm greens. Practicing on the putting green before you go out to play your round will give you a good idea of how responsive the greens are to certain shots such as a lob shot and a chip and run which will help you adapt to the greens out on the course.
