Putting From the Rough

In order to promote a steeper stroke on your backstroke which will help avoid the taller grass, lower your front shoulder when in your address position. Keep much of your weight distributed over your lead foot and allow your wrists to hinge on the backswing, just as if you were hitting a chip shot. Stroke down on the ball and make a good follow-through on this type of shot.
