No one plays every iron shot into a green from the fairway. Even the best pros on tour. And usually when we’re playing from the rough, our lie isn’t perfect. No Oompa Loompa is following us around, teeing our balls up in the cabbage. That would be creepy and would take the fun out of the challenge.
Here are our four key tips to hit solid shots out of the rough. Also, take a few minutes and watch the video below.
Our grip & rip from the cabbage tips:
- Make sure to accelerate through impact and finish your swing
- Choke down on the club and grip it tighter
- Cock your wrists early and come in steep
- Say a quick prayer
Read. Watch. Practice. And then take what you’ve learned out to the course.
Remember to grip it & rip it out of the cabbage!
