How to Escape the Junk
You missed the fairway. Big deal. This power play gets you back in the hole

This story is for you if...
• You miss a lot of fairways.
• You don't have a go-to swing to get you back into play.
The Situation
Your lie in the rough is thick, covering the ball on all sides.
The Solution
Accept that you're not going to hit the green. This is gouge time — a 9-iron at best. You're going to use a lot of the elements from your bunker swing, but instead of sliding your club through sand, you'll slam it steeply into the back of the ball.
