Summer is when the greens are the firmest of the season. Luckily, it also means tee shots are rolling farther, giving you a smaller number to the hole. The solution to managing firm greens? Swing on a wider arc. A good launch angle and higher spin rate will help the ball land softer on the green. Take the club back away from the body and feel like you’re hitting into the ball, not down or up on it. The grooves will grip the ball better and will launch the ball up in the air.
Remember, making better contact also means more distance. Keep that in mind when selecting clubs so the ball lands where you intend.
