what does hitting the ball thin or fat mean?

 

[fundy]

hitting the ball thin means you hit the ball half way up with the leading edge/bottom of the club, hitting it fat means you hit the ground before you hit the ball

 

[viscount17]

in either case you then take another shot (or two )

 

[ScienceBoy]

A thin shot will usually go low and long, a fat will pop up and hardly go anywhere.

Last round I hit a 4 iron thin onto a green from 180 yards out and I hit a 56* wedge fat about 5 yards!
