Mastering rough lies around the green


A LOT of approach shots that miss the green end up in deep rough, and once you arrive at the ball, the lie is often anyone’s guess.

From there, the decision is simple but rarely easy: take on the riskier shot that might finish close, or choose the safer option that simply gets you putting. The key is reading the lie and adjusting your technique accordingly – whether the ball is perched up or buried down.
