Bermuda Grass Blues

Well, I played today on Bermuda for just the 2nd time in my life. Sheesh....

I can't chip out of that stuff... did just fine practicing before the round, but on the course it was a disaster. I was told that the greens are some strain that isn't as grainy as Bermuda usually is. All I know is that there was still a lot more grain than I've ever seen in Colorado, but I was able to figure out the putting after 5 or 6 holes. But the chipping problems never went away. I was getting around the greens in regulation most of the time, but I can't remember the last time I mad so many double bogies because of having to hit 2 or even 3 chips before I got the chance to putt. The result was a smooth 100.... been a long time since I shot a 3 digit score.

Any suggestions from you tropical experts would be welcome....

Almost all the courses around here, except the big boy, are Bermuda. Some overseed the greens during winter.

As far as chipping goes: hit it hard and hope.

Take a few practice strokes and feel the resistance. I always liked bermuda. My ball sits up nice.
