Tight Lie

When a ball comes to rest on very short grass or hard, bare dirt (Kelley, About.com).

While hitting the ball into the rough where the grass is longest is considered a bad lie, a tight lie poses its own challenges to the player because players are used to having some amount of fluffy grass under the ball and the leeway the grass gives them in their swing.

One recommended solution is to make crisp contact with the ball by hitting down on the ball, making contact with it first, not the ground, and to rotate one's hips earlier in the swing (Golfmedic.com).
