| If your drive lands in the rough, the first question you | | | | advance the ball back into the fairway at a distance |
| should ask yourself is how you can still make par. | | | | that they can put a shot close to the pin for the par |
| Unless you have a great lie, give up any thought of | | | | saving putt. A ball buried deep in the rough is never |
| getting the ball on the green and concentrate on | | | | going to come out as far as you would hope so plan |
| getting the ball back into play putting you in the best | | | | accordingly and make the proper club selection. The |
| shape to avoid bogey. | | | | safest shot here is to take a short club with a heavy |
| Too many golfers try to blast a shot out of the rough | | | | head like a pitching or sand wedge and get back into |
| either going for the green or getting as close as | | | | the fairway. This will reduce the chances of ending up |
| possible to it. Instead, they should be looking to | | | | in worse shape or failing to advance the ball at all. |
