Golf Podcast 058: Playing Shots from the Deep Rough

Playing a shot from the deep rough represents a significant challenge for golfers of any skill level (just ask anyone who has ever played in the U.S. Open).  But fear not!  In this episode of The Golf Podcast, hosts Frank and Mike will review a few simple swing and equipment changes you can make to get out of the deep cut cleanly.

• The physics of how the deep rough affects clubhead speed and ball flight.
• A few simple changes you can make to your setup to improve your chances of making solid contact in the rough.
• Why you should steepen your swing and open your clubface when your ball is buried in the thick rough.
