Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today were going to talk about hitting the ball out of the rough. You know a lot of times we have the ball it is sitting down and we're talking earlier video about experimentation out of the rough but how do you make sure that you can get this ball out of the rough. One thing you have to make sure of is if you really focused in on going down and out of that particular golf ball.

The more shallow you swing the more junk gets caught between the ball the clubface and that's going to cause you issues. So if I have this particular shot here is going to sit down and I'm really going to focus on chopping down on it so I get the or at least amount of junk between the blade and the ball if I do it hopefully it looks like this. You can really see I went down after that one here again the ball twice going to kind of be pot luck sometimes the squirt right sometimes left it just kind of depends on what's going on but really make sure you go down after those shots the worse th lie the more down and after it you have to go, have fun with it.
