I don't mind a tight lie on grass. When the ball is sitting on well packed soil 10 yards from the green, NOW I don't like it.
Is ok though, because I pulled my cart along that little trail of well packed soil and sparse grass between the green and the cart path 20 yards from the green, and my putter is right here handy.
I do wish the rest of you would park on cart path though so I can use my wedge around the green.
I would suggest the course maintenance cut down more trees too in the areas around the greens to help grow more grass, but I play summers too, and I like parking in the shade...on top of these hard packed areas where they are having trouble growing grass.
I decided last week to start carrying a chipping mat anyway, who needs grass?
