Wet Line

A visible line or mark on putting greens created by moisture, dew, or irrigation water that can influence the roll and break of putts. Wet lines often appear as darker or lighter streaks across the green surface and can cause putts to break more or less than expected based on the green's natural contours. Smart golfers learn to read wet lines as part of their green-reading process, adjusting their aim and speed accordingly. These moisture patterns are most noticeable during early morning rounds or after irrigation cycles.
