Our course has very tight fairways on a number of holes so a good drive can easily run into the rough. The rough isn't long, spindly grass rather than a couple of inches high of very thick and lush grass. I really struggle to play out of it and feel it's as much to do with a doubt in my technique as much as not having Popeye-esque forearms!
Last week I finally nailed a few when I just gave it a bit more welly but is there more to it than that? Usual poor shot is greatly reduced in distance and/or pulled left as, I think, the clubhead gets turned closed by the grass snagging it.
So, any advice? Should I be trying to leave the face open a little to counter balance the face closing? Should I take more or less club or a hybrid where it's appropriate distance-wise?
Plan to practice this shot on Wednesday as the grass practice area is quite rough - also expect to find it on the course tomorrow and with the rain that is forecast it will be tougher than ever.
Thanks.
