    Hi Todd
    Great video but at my club in UK we wouldn’t call that rough it’s first cut, our “rough “ is a good 4 inches deep, how would you suggest we get out of that?

    I am 82 years old and usually play five times a week with a fairly worn-out body. One of your videos suggested raising the handle of the club to help with rotation and lessen stress on your back. I did as you suggested, and it has helped with my back pain. Thanks

    Excellent job Todd in explaining the great use of a hybrid from the rough! I use my hybrid from the rough and I have noted: 1) play the ball back a little in the stance, 2) grip down, 3) grip firmer. 4) on downhill, sidehill lies, point the lead foot slightly down the slope which puts weight on the lead leg. All are applied or will be! Well done Todd!

    I started playing golf back in the persimmon times....my fav club (ever) was my persimmon 5 wood. Apart from being beautiful it was about the same size as a modern hybrid. I hit that club all the time from 160-200 give me that 5 wood...it seemed like i couldn't miss (of course i did but it seemed that way) i still have it somewhere i have my set of clubs from back then (left handed were hard to get back then too). For some reason though i still prefer my modern 5 wood which could be as big or bigger than my persimmon driver
