If your on the apron try your five wood or a rescue club using a putting stroke. This just knocks it over that first foot of rough then it will roll like a putt.

Tiger and other tour pros advocate this and it works well.

Best advice is just to get on the practice area and try different lies and distances with a variety of clubs and get tuned into what you can do with each club.

Nothing beats practicing the short game and improving your feel and confidence.
