Rough Made Easy
When your ball finds the heavy rough, don't panic. PGA Professional Kent Keith says playing good shots from the rough is easy, if you use good judgement.

Rough tends to take backspin off the ball and create a "flier" that goes farther and takes longer to stop. Adjust your target to allow for the added roll.
5. Use a Steeper Approach ...

Follow through with your club. You must continue the motion of your club even after contact. Wrap the golf club all the way around the back of your neck. At the finish of a left-handed golf swing, the golfer's hands will be near his right ear.

The Follow Through
The first picture to the left shows a considerable amount of wrist cock early into the follow through. This is a classic sign of a golf swing in which the arms and body are at odds with one another.

The follow-through is the result of the prior body movements. After impact it's just a matter of releasing all tension and letting centrifugal force finish your swing.

The Follow Through
Some years ago when I was an oarsman I learned that the arms have not a great amount of strength. The real strength of the body is in the heavy muscles of the shoulders, back, and thighs.

The follow through is important, but not as important as the other parts of the swing. It should just be an extension of your swing.

1. Never give up. We all go through periods when we are not playing particularly well and the key is to find the weakness that is cause of that. Sometimes it is ball striking and other times it is the short game and in rare cases it is both! ...

Extension Through Ball
The weight is transferred to our target side through the hip and foot action, this allows the arms, hands and club to be swung through the ball towards our target generating prolonged contact and most importantly the direction.

Roughly rub off most of the dirt by using a damp lukewarm cloth.
Then soak the cloth in a cleaning product that must absolutely not be caustic, and loosely rub the surface. Never use a substance containing bleach.

The Rough - The areas of the course known as 'the rough' are the regions that are allowed to grow more wildly than the fairways and putting greens. Thick grass, shrubland or woodland often make up the rough.

Go through each of the diagnostic questions and fill-in the answer. This will provide an initial record and it will identify the areas of grip, stance, alignment, swing path and clubface position that will need improvement.

Go through the list below and check off the things that you do rather well (you or your pro may wish to add to this list based on your swing).

30 through 39: 9
40 or higher: 10
For example, if a golfer has a course handicap of 8, shoots a score of 83, but that score includes a six on a par 3 (a triple bogey) then the posted score should be only 82.

Deep Rough :
The shot you play from a lie in the rough depends on your objective. If you need distance from the rough, move the ball back in your stance, close the clubface a bit and hit a punch shot.

Go through this short range of motion to start. Click on the picture to enlarge it. Use your "Back" button to return.

The through swing should be a natural follow-on based on the speed of swing required, and the length of the backswing.

If, through misuse of the right arm and elbow, the right hand is allowed to overpower the left before release, power and direction is prejudiced. It then comes into the shot too early, interfering with the guiding role of the left hand and arm....

The pull-through is where you begin to generate the power needed for a long throw. For maximum power and speed your shoulder rotation should pull your arm through.

1. Go through the same routine on the putting green every time. Do not vary that routine no matter what you are putting for.
2. The most important of the list is DO NOT THINK OF OUTCOME, STAY IN THE PRESENT, FOCUS ONLY ON THE TASK AT HAND.
