Fairway Metal From the Rough
April 4, 2010 by Admin
photo credit: hex1848 This shot depends on the position of your ball in the rough. If it's sitting relatively high in the grass, a fairway metal would be ideal if there is a long distance to the green. A 5 or 7-metal wood is preferable.
Use a relatively open stance and aim slightly left of your target. Play the ball in the center of your stance. Swing parallel to your body taking the club on a steeper and, ever so slightly, out to in swing-path. On the takeaway, do not drag the clubhead through the rough since it could tangle in the grass. Make a smooth downward swing and do not quit on the shot. This shot will fly high with a slight fade and land softly.
