So, youB次元官网网址檝e missed the fairway (again).

What you donB次元官网网址檛 want to do now, says Jason Tchir, head professional at Quadra Golf, is compound your mistake by not playing your shot out of the rough properly.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 all about the lie,B次元官网网址� Tchir says. B次元官网网址淭he first thing you want to do is look at how bad the situation is. If your ball is sitting down in the rough, youB次元官网网址檝e got a lot more grass that can potentially get in between your club face and the golf ball on contact, so itB次元官网网址檚 advisable to take one more club, but the most important thing, as with all iron shots, you want to be making sure youB次元官网网址檙e making contact hitting down on that golf ball and pinching it down into the turf.B次元官网网址�

Although he admits thatB次元官网网址檚 easier said than done out of the rough.

B次元官网网址淪ure, itB次元官网网址檚 a lot easier to do that off the fairway than it is when youB次元官网网址檙e fighting through three inches of grass to get down to the ball, but you just have to know that your contact isnB次元官网网址檛 going to be as crisp and clean as it otherwise would be and adjust for that,B次元官网网址� Tchir says.

B次元官网网址淎 lot of people get into the rough and grab the same club they would if they were in the fairway and just try to hit it harder. Well, swinging harder doesnB次元官网网址檛 lead to better results, as anyone who has played this game for any length of time will be able to tell you. ItB次元官网网址檚 really about making solid contact with the 95 per cent swing instead of taking the 110 per cent swing you maybe want to make when youB次元官网网址檙e looking down at the ball in the grass.B次元官网网址�

But what about when the ball isnB次元官网网址檛 sitting way down in the grass? WhatB次元官网网址檚 this B次元官网网址渇lying lieB次元官网网址� you hear about sometimes?

B次元官网网址淚f IB次元官网网址檓 approaching my golf ball and itB次元官网网址檚 in that same three inches of rough, but itB次元官网网址檚 sitting up almost like itB次元官网网址檚 on a tee, where there is plenty of air underneath it B次元官网网址� especially if the grass thatB次元官网网址檚 there is pointed towards your target B次元官网网址� thatB次元官网网址檚 a good indication to me that IB次元官网网址檝e got a flier and that thing is going to come out pretty hot,B次元官网网址� Tchir says.

If thatB次元官网网址檚 the case, thereB次元官网网址檚 less physical resistance between either the ball and your club or the ball and the grass in front of it, and it will act just like it would if it was coming off a tee, so you should play it the same way.

B次元官网网址淵ou could maybe even play one less club in that case, because your club is actually going to be propelled through the golf ball by the grass itB次元官网网址檚 sliding across instead of digging into,B次元官网网址� he says.

So the key to hitting the ball out of the rough is figuring out B次元官网网址� before you even choose a club B次元官网网址� what the rough is going to do to the ball, your club and your impact, because there are plenty of different factors that come into play.

What you donB次元官网网址檛 want to do is compound your error, Tchir says. Just because you missed the fairway by a few yards doesnB次元官网网址檛 mean youB次元官网网址檙e out of the hole B次元官网网址� unless you donB次元官网网址檛 pay attention to your next shot before you play it.
