Golf Tip: Getting Out of the Rough Around the Green

As you know, the club selection and technique needed can be confusing to some people. Here are a couple of helpful tips.

1. If you like using a wedge, use a slightly open stance with the ball back in your stance and your hands forward of the ball.Then almost with a putting stroke motion, stroke through the ball. You will find that the change in ball placement and hand position to the ball will allow the ball to come out very easily. The ball should run and the shot should be played to allow the ball to run.

2. Your next option would be to take a 9 iron, play the ball forward in your stance with your hands equal to the ball and, using the same stroke motion, the ball will come out because of the loft of the 9 iron and will run very easily towards the hole. Most people use more effort than needed to get the ball out of the rough. Although the grass might be tall it cannot compare to the tall rough up north and does not require a lot of effort to get the club through the ball. With a little practice you will get a touch for this pitch and run type style from out of the rough around the green and it should save you a few strokes and make the game more enjoyable.
