Ten of the Best: Playing in the rain tips - Golfmagic.com

10. Be bold with your chipping and putting

Around the green there’s little scope for delicacy in the wet. So be bold. Position the ball towards the back of your stance and play the shot with your arms to get a solid strike and the ball rolling.

In wet winter conditions, greens will inevitably be slow and bumpy so be positive with your putting, too. Take any break or borrow out of the putt by ensuring a firm strike into the back of the hole.

But before you even take the stroke you need to know which wedge you're going to take^[1] , which is another vital decision for chipping and pitching in the rain.
