Burnt Up Rough

Problem

The rough is shorter because it is so dry or burnt that it is crumbling or curling down away from you.

Cure

When the rough is dry and tall, you will have a harder time to get through it. However, now that it has become so broken up, you are more likely to have a flyer. Plan on the club getting through it much cleaner and compensate for it.

Therapy

Take a few practice swings in similar grass near your ball. Get a feel for how quickly the club moves through the grass. Swing easier and use more lofted club than usual from this distance to help prevent a flyer shot.
