    When I'm hitting in the bunker or deep rough, my hit never goes well.  Whats the secret?

    hi

    you cant treat those as fairway. you often have to just use a wedge to hit out into fairway and then try to save par.

    Sand:

    If it's buried don't expect too much.  If it's not and the face is not too high you can still get a reasonable shot off by hitting it harder and maybe increasing the club depending on bunker face.  It's really practice.

    Rough:

    Punch shots can be very effective as can just using a club up.  Again it's experimentation and practice that will help you most in the end.

     

    Obviously landing in the rough or sand happens and as WGTIcon eluded to above I think course management also plays a huge part.  If you are in DEEP rough just getting it back on the fairway (taking the medicine so to speak) may be best!
