Coping with hard ground?

DCB - true golf isn't hitting a SW 90 yards and hoping its going to bounce and roll another 70 to get to the green.

Maybe hitting 140 and rolling it on - I'll give you that.

Don't think you'll ever hear me moaning about a wet course DCB. Frozen or covered in snow maybe, but never wet. What you call improvisation, I call luck. Improvisation is when your under a tree and overhanging branches are stopping you play your normal shot, or your in deep greenside rough and you have to get it close by bumping into a slope to take the pace of it. Luck is when you've split the fairway, you've got 130 yards to the pin and you have to hit SW and hope it bounces far enough and straight enough to get on the green because your normal 8 or 9 iron will bounce 60 yards into a hedge.

Just my opinion, but like I said, it's my problem, I gotta deal with it.

The truth is to be a good golfer you have to adapt to all conditions bacause thats the way it is in England,every season has different conditions,however pitching 90 yards short and relying on a nice bounce and true roll doesnt take skill it pure luck,hitting a wedge 120yrds to the pin and stopping it there is skill,two totally different aspects of golf.
