  found an area like mulch, playing ready-go on bethpage, 17th hole tee shot went over the green, about 5 yards off the green, said "light brush", i hit 8 shots, full, punch, flop, different power levels, most shots showed 0 distance, some showed 1 yard, after 8 shots i could barely see the screen for all the steam.   

  anyone have any suggestions on "light brush".

  punch shot 90%-100% wedge... just get it in the air.. works 30% thru 70% brush.. just to get out on back on the short green... thats MY experience... and your experience may vary... thats the fine print...

  thanks, but i tried that, didn't work, ball went 0 on two punch tries.

  why light brush 15 feet off of the green? seems a little difficult to me, i can see light weeds on a bad shot but this is a par 3 that plays downwind half of the time, my shot hit the green near the front fringe and shot across the green.  nothing i could have done differently.

  Hey haji,

  What was the lie percentage? next time try a 7, 8, 9, iron punch or full. Sometimes in real golf we can land in the funky green stuff with similar results.

  I for one haven't heard of "light brush". The next best advice is, keep the ball on the tee side of the green where a more manageable shot can be played. A little bit of strength (for compensation of the wind) one way or another on the tee box makes a big difference at Bethpage 17th. Keep practicing and find out what works.

   

  Play well.
