Category: Rough

Burnt Rough

Your ball landed in very dry or burned out rough and you still have a long distance before reaching the pin.

Edge of the Fairway

You have a short distance to the green but ball is lying on a ridge of grass between the fairway and rough.

Hitting Against the Grain

The ball is lying down in tall grass that is growing towards you, against your target line.

Soft Greenside Rough

You have a good lie in the thick rough but need a soft greenside shot so that the ball floats to the green and stops immediately upon landing.

Light Rough

Your ball landed in the light rough, still a long distance from the green. The grass is pointing away from you, towards the target.

Deep Rough

Your ball is lying in the deep rough and you usually have difficulty reaching the green because you use a sweeping or scooping motion.

The Flop Shot

You desperately need a high lob that will stop quickly because there is very little green to work with, the green is fast, or sloping way from you.

Swinging on a Steeper Plane

You need to improve your ability to escape from the deep rough. You have a problem hitting more grass than the ball due to a flat swinging plane. This will cause you to close your clubface and the ball will fly left of the target.

Green Shot Out of the Light Rough

The ball is lying in the low to medium rough and the pin is very close to the fringe.

Cushioned Grass

Your ball lands in an island of grass in the middle of a sand bunker next too the green or in a cushioned greenside rough.
