This month’s tip will help you transition from the summer grass to the winter overseeded grass. This transition can be very difficult for many who are used to the summer grasses. Please read and practice the tips for each area.

Full Shots from overseeded fairways
1. Position the ball farther forward in your stance.
2. Grip the club more in the fingers of your right hand.
3. Swing completely back and through the golf shot.

Full Shots from non-overseeded fairways
1. Position the ball farther back in you stance.
2. Choke down on your grip, making the club shorter.
3. Swing back ¾ and then swing through ¾ .

Chipping and Pitching
1. Take a less lofted club.
2. Choke down on your grip, making the club shorter.
3. Position the ball farther back in your stance.
4. Run the ball rather than fly the ball all the way to the hole.

Putting
1. Choke down on your putter.
2. Position the ball toward the center of your stance.
3. Use a shorter stroke, pop the ball don’t caress the ball.
If you practice each of the tips individually and completely you will make the transition from summer grass to winter grass a non-event.
