The 10 Pace Rule
June 21, 2010 by Admin
photo credit: Tom Purves There are far too many golfers that are way too aggressive when their ball is in the rough. The 10 pace rule should be applied every time you find your ball in deep grass.
As a general rule, if you cannot see the ball from 10 paces, you should think about pitching the ball safely on to the fairway, where you can regain complete control of your game. The purpose of the 10 pace rule is to reduce your chances of making a high score on the hole. The real problem occurs when the decision is made to go with a longer club which vastly increases the chance of a mis-hit. Doing so means you might end up in a worse lie than where you started.
