I deffinately agree with jambalaya.

the reason you have to open the clubface is because the long grass will grab the hozzle and close your club face as you swing through.

remember: your only aim when in deep rough is to get the ball back in play.

key points:
1) open clubface
2) ball back in stance
3) hit down onto ball
4) keep wrists firm.
5) get ball back in play
