My shot out of the rough Video Warning

[ManofManyStangs]

This past weekend hit a ball to the right of the green seen it bounce in the rough thought I could find it. Well I did and it was deep. This green backs up to a hunting reserve with elk, a few weeks ago elk got onto the green and done a lot of damage. The erected a fence around the green to keep elk off of it using the 1.5" wide fence posts, anyway here is the video. Me picking up a ball was a ball I found behind my ball.

I liked how on the first swing the cameraman turned the camera quickly to the right like they do on golf broadcasts when someone duffs a ball, and then with the other swing he learned not to. :-P

That took some serious hacking to get out that stuff.  Sometimes during a practice round, it's fun to see how I can handle rough like that.

If it's a round where I'm trying to get my best score, I probably would have declared an unplayable lie in your situation since it looks like I could have dropped 2 club lengths no closer to the hole and it would have put me on the short grass next to the cart path.  This would have gotten me out of the thick stuff in one (penalty drop) for a possible chip onto the green in two.  This game is too damn hard to not look for opportunities where the rules can help.

Yes the first shot would have been beautiful if I had not hit the fence. It's all in good fun.

Sad thing is I was having a great round for my game, but got greedy. Lesson learned take an unplayable lie from now on.

High lob pitch shot out after taking a drop

The friend I played a round with yesterday had one shot in the rough where the lie wasn't so bad.... until he tried to take a stance. He had rolled just off the side of the fairway (in between the cart path and the fairway, literally less than 5 foot from the fairway) and ended up on a bank. With him standing on the side-hill the ball was at about his waist... maybe higher.. He took a couple of swings at it before giving in and gave the other two guys who had joined up with us a little chuckle. They then tried the same shot for themselves and neither could advance the ball more than a foot.

I tore a tendon in my left arm playing out of a rough like that. I was unable to play golf for over a year!

Be careful!

Wow I would go crazy. I have played around 120 rounds this year. Just bought me a heater or the cold weather.

Hahaha....what struck me as impressive was the prison-like fencing to keep the wildlife away.............Hahaha

Elk destroy the greens, not only with the hoofs but their urine kills the grass.
