I am a member of an east of England club. This year the ground staff have fed the short rough and narrowed the fairways. This has made any shot just off the fairway a nightmare, if you can find the ball in the 2 1/2 inches of tight bristles they call grass!! I have a handicap in the late teens and find that I am playing percentage shots as anything a little daring is punished. Any body having similar problems at their course. Keeps you thinking though.
