My short game is pretty decent, probably the best part of my game. However, what I really struggle with is those lies which are usually around the back of greens, under trees/bushes where the soil is really soft (not wet), almost like a mulchy compost.
If there’s plenty of room to swing I’ll open up the face and play it a bit like a bunker shot. But when I’m crouched under a tree branch or up against a hedge, trying to stab the ball out, even when I catch the ball first it just goes nowhere, the club goes into the ground and a shot’s wasted.
I’ve had this at a number of courses so it must be a thing.
Anyone else know what I’m talking about and have any tips?
