Firstly welcome to the forums.
In a nutshell, your clubs are low level. Therefore if you are finding yourself in deep rough, chances are it will be difficult to get out.
Therefore the best thing is to avoid the rough, so plan yourself around the course, do not cut corners and play safety first.
But even then, you will click early or late.......and into the deep stuff.
Play for the closest part of the fairway - if that means sideways or backwards.....you should.
I use punch and full top spin - and always a high lofted club (use your best wedge, not the starters). In time you will work out the carry and may able to cut off a little more...but the priority should be to get the ball back into play.
Obviously better clubs will help.......but take your time and always ask for advice.
Have fun.
