Getting Out of the
Rough
How to Escape from and get out of the Rough
Your
best round, 3 holes to go and suddenly your in
the rough off the fairway, it’s heavy rough
come to that, 7 shots later your best ever round
has just been ruined.
You
could have played out with a pitching wedge, why
didn’t you?
Although you may lose distance you can escape rough
and indeed heavy rough by using you pitching wedge
club to get you out and back on track or at least
the fairway or green in one shot thereby reducing
the number of shots dropped.
You alone can decide how far the shot may go, this
can depend on thickness of the rough and you may
have to open the club face accordingly or alter the
stance and position again depending on ball position.
