Thinking about this topic a little more, perhaps in wet/soft conditions, club selection is more important/relevant than ball choice.
One of the questions for me is, in wet/soft conditions is a soft covered ball more likely to drag itself out of a plug mark and go backwards than a distance ball.
If not, and assuming (happy to be corrected here) a distance ball might "fly" further than a softer ball, when you take run out of the equation, it becomes a matter of remembering to take enough club so you can "fly it all the way" to the pin, rather than landing it short and watching it hop on....
The thinking aspect of our game is what draws me to it....
Cheers
