Getting out the rough Getting out the rough May 1, 2022 2:23 pm

I always like showing customers this technique at this time of the year as, by now, the rough is growing like wildfire. The greenkeepers are doing their best to keep it down, but there will always be those patches of the golf course that you were not supposed to be in.
