Hitting From Deep Rough

photo credit: danperry.com     It's easy to give up on a shot that has landed in deep, thick rough, but don't !   There are just a couple of important things to remember:   Take one extra club no matter how far the shot, and play the ball an inch or two back in your stance.   Swing down at the ball at a steeper angle in order to catch the ball first, which can be difficult to do.

Two schools of thought: (1)   Open the clubface slightly and aim a bit left of target (the open clubface will cut through the grass easier).   (2)   Aim in  a normal fashion and close the clubface slightly since making contact with the tall grass prior to  impact,  will tend to open the clubface slightly.
