My name is Bobby Eldridge and I have a few golf instructions I would like to share with you today. I have a great

tip for those of you who play golf where there’s a lot of deep rough. Those of you that live back East or in the

Midwest, it is pretty common for you in the summertime and, often, it’s wet.

Here are a few golf instructions about a couple of shots that are the most popular when you’re hitting from out of

deep rough. You will have a tendency to hit it thin or skull it or top it. And let me tell you why.

When the golf club starts to swing into the back of the golf ball, there is grass growing around it. Because of the

bounce on the back of the golf club, it’s very difficult to get the golf club to go deep enough into the ground to

find the bottom of the golf ball.

Another golf tip is when you’re struggling and the ball is down in some deep grass, whether you’re pitching the golf

ball or whether it’s a full golf swing; make sure that you put a lot of weight on your left side. And the final part

is to make sure that the golf club finishes low to the ground after impact.

So, on a full swing to the green with a pitch shot, the ball in the middle, weight left, hand to the left, swing

your arms up and straight down into the ground. And I think that you’ll be able to see that there’s a big change in

the trajectory of the golf ball.

Now lastly, do not expect any backspin when you have a golf ball coming out of deep rough.

Thanks, and I hope you learned a lot from my golf instructions today.

Good luck, and have a great day.
