How does one play out of thick Bermuda rough?

Usually nothing more then a 7I. Ball back in the stance a little which helps promote the next most impartant thing....hitting the ball first. Hit down on it as hard as you can. Do not try to lift it up, lift it out, scoop it up, or anthing in an "up" manner whatsoever. You must use every ounce of your power to hit down upon the ball as you can muster.

Expect a low, running flight that wants to be pulled to the left (RHG), so aim out to the right a little. Depending on the lie, you can get some distance out of it...something like 160-170 yards. More then your usual 7I would get, but if the lie is really burried, 100 is lucky.

Good luck. And next time, don't hit in the rough.
