Toe Through Rough

Problem

The ball is sitting down deep in the tall grass near the green and you have plenty of green to work with.

Cure

Use the toe of the club to cut through the grass. This shot will give the ball plenty of roll on the green.

Therapy

Set the ball so far back in your stance that it is actually past your trailing foot. Set your hands ahead of the ball and your bodyweight forward. Set your hands high so the toe of the club is resting down deep into the grass. Keep your body leaning forward throughout the entire swing; it is okay to allow your leading leg to bend towards the pin as you make this swing.
