Remember the most important goal of the deep rough shot: just get it out!
Start by selecting one of your most lofted clubs.
- 80% of the weight on the lead side
- Ball position: back near the trail foot
You want to create the steepest angle possible so you’ll be using more wrists.
Your follow through will likely be limited so make sure you have a nice firm grip so you can maintain as much control over the club face.
You are not trying to lift the ball up. You want to hit down hard and trust the loft to do the work for you.

And remember this…
There are three types of golf
shots.
There’s a good shot, a good-enough shot, and a bad shot.
That framework for evaluating shots may sound simple, but it’s important.
Why?
Because too often golfers think about their shots as either good-or-bad.
If you thin a 7-iron onto
the green, your instinct is telling you that was a bad shot.
But it wasn’t a bad shot.
It wasn’t a great shot, but it was good-enough.
As golfers, we always compare ourselves to great shots, but how many of those do we really hit?
And you only have to be good-enough compared to the field to hold the trophy come Sunday afternoon.
