My name&#8217;s David Morris, PXG staff professional here in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m at Coxmoor Golf Club here in Nottinghamshire, and I&#8217;ve left myself a not very nice shot. So you can see, it&#8217;s not nice. It&#8217;s in the heather, and I&#8217;ve got a really nasty shot over the gorse bushes and off to a short side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I just want to talk to you about the way I would play this. I&#8217;m going to take quite a wide stance in this instance. I&#8217;m going to open my club face up, and I&#8217;m going to play this almost like a monkey shot, really. So I&#8217;m going to open the club face up for the reason that, quite often when you come into a rough grass, it will turn the club over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I&#8217;m going to aim ever so slightly right. If it turns the club over, it should end up ever so slightly left but still a decent result. What I&#8217;m going to do here is create plenty of speed so the ball will pop out. I would expect all of this rough grass to cushion the blow there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let&#8217;s give it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not so bad.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Playing it where it lies isn\u2019t always ideal.
