Every once in a while we hit the ball into 40-50 or 50-60% rough. From experience in playing real golf, I know to take my lumps in get it back in play and think of it as a penalty stroke. One problem tho, it's almost impossible to even get it back in play and it usually takes 2 or 3 strokes to do it (Even hitting sideways or backwards). I'd even declare the ball unplayable if I could.
Have any of you long time players found a way to get back to the fairway on the first try?
