Re: Deep Rough

Sometimes I am the golfer that threads the trees, over the bunker and stops it on the green. Usually, I just put the ball back into play, but when either i am playing poorly or very well i will take a long club out of the rough. For example:

Last tournament i was on a par 5 about 530 yards long. My drive was long and right probably 250 out from the hole. There are trees in front of my line to the green, with a hazard just past those, just 15 yards from the green. There was of course the 140 yard shot that i could play back to the fairway, but i decide to go for the homerun because my round couldn't get any worse. I pull a 3W out of my bag knowing i had about a 3% chance of getting solid contact because of how buried the ball is. I swing as hard as i can just to get it air borne and i hit a laser between the trees over the hazard, 5 yards from the green. Smart? Most definitely not. Well executed? As good as i could
