Tip from the Pro It’s that time of year when, because of overseeding, we are forced to hit off mats. When we hit off mats, we can get a false read on our ball striking. The club can skip off the mat into the ball, still giving a good ball flight and adequate distance. When we are back on regular turf, this same impact point will cause a fat or heavy shot lacking in distance. Try to concentrate on the ball first and then mat contact. Execute this, and you’ll feel and hear a well-struck ball with no false reading. Try this!
