Possibly the best ever video on YT, for us recreational golfers/higher HCer's! It can be so easy to misjudge the rough and the club/shot selection. Very good 👍
I'm currently trying to break 100 for the first time. This is something that will make all the difference, I managed 5 pars last time out and went 37 over on the other 13 holes. Avoiding blow up holes of 4+ over is the biggest thing for me
Your ears must have been burning. I was searching how to get out of that long stuff the other day and couldn't find a decent video!! I broke 90 for the first time yesterday thanks to yourself and a few other youtubers. Thanks for all the advice.
OH MATT!!! This was the ABSOLUTE BEST video lesson so far. I should watch it before I go out to play! I have made all these mistakes - and on the course you usually don´t get a chance to try another better club.
I've been watching a lot of golf videos. Between Rick Sheils and him. These two are great at explaining golf shots. Thanks to these two. I have improved
This is now safely stored in the back of my head. I tend to use my rescue a bit too much in the rough. Instead of going into damage control mode, stubbornness kicks in and I dig myself a deeper hole to get out of. Thanks for this card saving tip!
Im new to golf this is my third summer, so probably my biggest problem is what club i should be using in the various bad situations. This video has immense value.
One of the most sensible golf tip videos out there Matt and key to the sort of course management that lowers scores. One of my 4ball last week hit his drive into semi rough. He chose to take a fairway metal to it - big mistake! He went from semi rough to more semi rough, just 10yds away. And as his second shot had landed with a slightly better lie, he kept the fairway metal in his hand. He went into heavier rough and ‘dinged’ the hole.
Excellent video! I wish I had seen this before my last round. I wasted 3 shots on one hole trying to hit out of high rough with my 5-wood. After analyzing my game, I realized that I had added about 11 strokes to my score as the result of bad choices. If I had just selected the right club and prioritized getting out of trouble instead of continuing to go for the hole from a bad lie, I would have been far better off.
Matt, I really LEARN from your simplified instruction, I will take this knowledge of hitting out of diffetent roughs. I saw the MISTAKES I've been making, chosing the WRONG CLUB, and refusing to take my MEDICINE, and get the ball SAFELY back into play, I take MESS, and make it a BIGGER MESS
Hi matt, great advice, I was lucky to be given that advice during a playing lesson with my pro, take your medicine and don't try the career shot 🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻 it helped get a par/bogey and on occasions a birdie instead of double/triple bogeys
What a great video. Some videos people put up are courses of immaculate condition with roughs like slightly long fairways. This video really shows how not to play with your ego, which to be fair, in this sport is so easy to do.
Thanks Matt, really useful. I would have picked a 4 or 5 iron when you picked a 7 and I notice my shots go about 50 yards rather than the 180 I was expecting. Thank you.
Great lesson. It really is very important to understand what the golf course is willing to give you on each type of shot. Sometimes, you've got to take your medicine. Thanks Matt!
I've been really struggling out of the rough. I knew about not trying to use a wood but had no idea what technique or stance I needed. I've been trying to play it like a normal iron shot and cursing when it would only go a few yards, usually still remaining in the rough. This is really helpful, thanks Matt!
Thanks for sharing. The way you explain things and situations is awesone and very easy and friendly to understand. You just helped me solve a lot of questions. Regards from Mexico. Thanks
A bit worrying that a golfer as good as you should take FOUR drives and get none on the fairway! But, fair dos, they all went the same distance. Seriously though, a great tutorial! Practical advice for common situations that we can all use. (Amazing tip about the lob wedge!) Thanks Matt, instant sub!
Scenarios 3 and 4 are just a pride thing with golfers a lot of time that I see. "I can get it out of there with my hybrid" . Leave your pride at home a realize you are going to save strokes by pulling a 7 iron or wedge.
My gulf partner and I have adopted the phrase "you're not Tiger Woods" to remind us NOT to try to be super human and instead make the rational club selection. In his case it comes into play on a long dog leg lined by tees on the left. His long clubs have a severe slicing ball flight. If he over drives his preferred landing spot on his drive, I remind him his next club choice is a long iron, not his driver that will get eaten by those trees. If you are a bogey golfer such as us, these decisions can mean 3-4 stroke a side.
Example 3 is definitely where I’m still taking my recovery. Need to take my medicine more. You’d have thought the amount of time I spend in the rough I’d be ace by now haha
Matt, thanks for these great tips. As a new golfer I broke 110 for the first time yesterday by using the 7 iron advice. Significantly improved my game by 'taking my medicine'
I have been watching so many of your videos and it has really improved my game so i have decided to not be lazy and just clicked on that subscribe button. You are a genius. Love your content and way of presenting. Thanks Matt
Great video. I need to right this all down. The small changes at setup are so key and when I'm not happy about being in the long stuff I make bad decisions...
Different class matt. Am just getting bk into it. I stopped playing about 7 years ago competitively and a was 4.7. Av played about 25 different courses since they opened again and av had a couple under par and level the last few weeks. Ma game has been getting better every game a play but u finchy and shiels have been an absolute pleasure to watch and have made ma game alot better. Keep doing what uz are doing. Would love to get a game wae u guys.
So true. I've seen my buddy time and time again try to use his FW to get out of the rough. The club hoods as it hits the grass and the ball travels left back in the rough advancing about 20 yards.
Always practical, helpful, and realistic. I have found that in the short rough that I can hit my hybrid under the ball (literally) and it pops up and just goes a few feet. Maybe a 7 iron is the better choice than even though it is sitting up nicely...
Very good review. I had a conversation with a friend on just this situation last week. Proper club selection, especially to get out of trouble is so important and so many make mistakes on this. I have thought long and hard on this and my club selection has been getting better and shots more successful . This tutorial is a good reminder about all of this. Well done Matt. Joe
Great video. If I may, another way of expressing the shot out of the long rough on a par 5, is to just try to hit the second shot to where you wanted your tee shot to be. If accomplished it actually makes you feel quite positive about only one shot dropped.
Hi Matt, I came across your video after "stuffing" a few shots in the rough. This is a great video., really super helpful. What would be your approach to chipping up over a bunker onto the green out of medium rough. I either hit to slow or get snagged. Keep the videos coming. Cheers from Australia
Had a buried lie in think Bermuda rough last weekend from about 100 yds out. Tried to go for it with a wedge and it went 10yds into the same think rough. Should have taken my medicine and hacked out sideways to get back into the fairway. These course management videos really help me see how I’m losing shots every round just not playing smart golf.
Id definitely go hybrid for the 3rd one and maybe the 4th but difficult to see lie in video, grip it open and hit down hard comes out nice hybrids are excellent for it
At last a pro spending some time in the rough,proper rough ,where most of us trying to improve spend quite a lot of time.Thanks for that Matt ,going where very few of you pros bother,rather spend time promoting some new driver great video.
One of my greatest shot was a 5 wood out a bunker. I take way less risk these days and score much more consistent overall, not gone above 90 for over two years now.
Curious about your opinion on the difference between a "rescue" (hybrid) and the kind of wood which also has some relief. I play cobra fairway with the baffler rails, and to be honest, the 3w & 5w completely dominate a 21 degree hybrid. Agree it won't work in the heavy stuff, of course.
It never fails we as non professional golfers try to hit that hero shot, and maybe 1 out of 10 we pull off. the other 9 of 10 we make double bogey or worse. Great video. Love course management videos.
I will send this video to a couple of friends who always try the wrong clubs to get out of the rough and they won't listen to me perhaps they will listen to you, hopefully. Good video, thanks.
Possibly the best ever video on YT, for us recreational golfers/higher HCer's! It can be so easy to misjudge the rough and the club/shot selection. Very good 👍
More videos of real life situations like this would be appreciated. They stick in the mind!
Cracked me up with the 1 foot of the fairway ' you should not be here '
That's where I play all my golf from ☺️
Hoenestly one of the best videos i have watched so far about different lies and club selection. Very well done
I'm currently trying to break 100 for the first time. This is something that will make all the difference, I managed 5 pars last time out and went 37 over on the other 13 holes. Avoiding blow up holes of 4+ over is the biggest thing for me
It's those bloody blow holes, man can I relate!
Your ears must have been burning. I was searching how to get out of that long stuff the other day and couldn't find a decent video!! I broke 90 for the first time yesterday thanks to yourself and a few other youtubers. Thanks for all the advice.
OH MATT!!! This was the ABSOLUTE BEST video lesson so far. I should watch it before I go out to play! I have made all these mistakes - and on the course you usually don´t get a chance to try another better club.
Brilliant,..i am the ‘use hybrid for every shot’ guy 😂😂
I've been watching a lot of golf videos. Between Rick Sheils and him. These two are great at explaining golf shots. Thanks to these two. I have improved
This is now safely stored in the back of my head. I tend to use my rescue a bit too much in the rough. Instead of going into damage control mode, stubbornness kicks in and I dig myself a deeper hole to get out of. Thanks for this card saving tip!
my pleasure, hope it works
@@Mattfryergolf I'm confident it will.
Haha i can really see myself using the hybrid in all lies 😂
Finally! A great video addressing the various lies and the clubs and thought process to save strokes. Thank you.
Im new to golf this is my third summer, so probably my biggest problem is what club i should be using in the various bad situations. This video has immense value.

Another great lesson matt. I'm guilty of trying to play the world beater shots!!! Need to limit my expectations. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Matt.
Will be using this A LOT!
Congrats on winning the 1 Iron challenge.
You should make that an annual event.
Sound advice Matt. Recognising the difference, in the rough lie, is significant to the shot afterwards. This one is going in my memory. Great stuff.
Hi matt, great advice, I was lucky to be given that advice during a playing lesson with my pro, take your medicine and don't try the career shot 🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻 it helped get a par/bogey and on occasions a birdie instead of double/triple bogeys
If only I’d watched this yesterday.
After watching a few of Matt's videos, I'd say his are the most useful, practical, and helpful I've seen. Great stuff Matt!
What a great video. Some videos people put up are courses of immaculate condition with roughs like slightly long fairways. This video really shows how not to play with your ego, which to be fair, in this sport is so easy to do.

Thank you for your video. It's the best explanation I've seen in all my years. Again my thanks!!
As a beginner, this is priceless, practical guidance. Thank You! SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks for sharing.

You are always so sensible with your playing. I never have enough of the “medicine” you speak of! This is a great video.
Great Vid, Matt, the very best on the web; plenty to think about. Getting out of the rough always seems to give away those strokes., Thank you.
Scenarios 3 and 4 are just a pride thing with golfers a lot of time that I see. "I can get it out of there with my hybrid" . Leave your pride at home a realize you are going to save strokes by pulling a 7 iron or wedge.

We all know the hybrid is wrong and we should hit the fairway as a priority. But we all still take the big dogs 😂
Matt, thanks for these great tips. As a new golfer I broke 110 for the first time yesterday by using the 7 iron advice. Significantly improved my game by 'taking my medicine'
Brilliant vid pal. However. i'd love to see a full demo of how you do it with the wrong club.
I have been watching so many of your videos and it has really improved my game so i have decided to not be lazy and just clicked on that subscribe button. You are a genius. Love your content and way of presenting. Thanks Matt
Great video. I need to right this all down. The small changes at setup are so key and when I'm not happy about being in the long stuff I make bad decisions...
Great lesson Matt, really helpful tips for a new golfer who often finds themselves in these lies (like myself...)
Good lesson Matt. Audio quality and narration was nice and clear in this one, well done!
Great lesson, did this the other day and ended up in even longer rough after topping it.
Bro you read my mind! I’ve been thinking about my own poor club choices on the course lately. Definitely needed this video! Thanks, Matt!
Happy to help!

Matt, I discovered you via Pete and Rick's channel. Sure glad I did. You offer good sound advice. I'm the one wacking my way out of horrible brush.
So true. I've seen my buddy time and time again try to use his FW to get out of the rough. The club hoods as it hits the grass and the ball travels left back in the rough advancing about 20 yards.
Great video! Explained so many situations so we'll. Thanks!
Excellent video, made me think about my club selection.
Great advice for a high handicap like me.
I vuole match the mistake to what I normally do, and will be of Great help for the future.
We high handicappers need stuff like this !
Excellent thanks.
Always practical, helpful, and realistic. I have found that in the short rough that I can hit my hybrid under the ball (literally) and it pops up and just goes a few feet. Maybe a 7 iron is the better choice than even though it is sitting up nicely...
Great stuff Matt! We all can't hit fairway all the time! In fact most mid-handicap players would struggle to hit 8-9 a round.
Great advice thanks Matt
Very good review. I had a conversation with a friend on just this situation last week. Proper club selection, especially to get out of trouble is so important and so many make mistakes on this. I have thought long and hard on this and my club selection has been getting better and shots more successful . This tutorial is a good reminder about all of this. Well done Matt. Joe
Matt, can you make one on how to hit it out of pine needles and such ground?
Great video. If I may, another way of expressing the shot out of the long rough on a par 5, is to just try to hit the second shot to where you wanted your tee shot to be. If accomplished it actually makes you feel quite positive about only one shot dropped.
Very good advice Matt, explained it very well. Thx

I'm guilty of all 3 .thanks Matt, I learn more from videos like this than all the swing videos everyone puts out.
Had a buried lie in think Bermuda rough last weekend from about 100 yds out. Tried to go for it with a wedge and it went 10yds into the same think rough. Should have taken my medicine and hacked out sideways to get back into the fairway. These course management videos really help me see how I’m losing shots every round just not playing smart golf.
Glad they can help, hopefully less shots dropped now!
Thank you. There were do many times where I used fairway wood on scenario 2 n never end well. Thank you . I love these type of lessons.
So simple medicine.... and yet I didn't know it!! Thanks
Ruff looking rough. Great advice. My missus has been trying to hit hybrids and just hits it 50 yards into the the same stuff
Super video Matt. Loads of awesome tips. Thanks 👍🏌🏽♂️
all makes sense - and yet still the kind of mistake I make time and again. Nice one, thanks!!!
Glad to help!
Great wee video there Matt......thanks. Keep the tips coming..👍⛳️
Id definitely go hybrid for the 3rd one and maybe the 4th but difficult to see lie in video, grip it open and hit down hard comes out nice hybrids are excellent for it
First time I have seen a video on this topic. Great! Thanks.
Brilliant video! This will save me a couple strokes for sure!
Very informative and useful video. Thanks for sharing
Great video. Made this mistake a few days ago.
At last a pro spending some time in the rough,proper rough ,where most of us trying to improve spend quite a lot of time.Thanks for that Matt ,going where very few of you pros bother,rather spend time promoting some new driver great video.
Fantastic tips Matt! Really helpful for someone who has only been playing golf for half a year or so
Great to hear!
One of my greatest shot was a 5 wood out a bunker.
I take way less risk these days and score much more consistent overall, not gone above 90 for over two years now.
Some great tips here, thanks Matt. I'm guilt of losing shots by trying to muscle it out of lies like this
Thank you - watch every video - you are a great help!
Great tips; I tended to follow your club advice on all my rough grass shots but not the weight distribution. I will do so from now on of course
Cheers
Curious about your opinion on the difference between a "rescue" (hybrid) and the kind of wood which also has some relief.
I play cobra fairway with the baffler rails, and to be honest, the 3w & 5w completely dominate a 21 degree hybrid.

It never fails we as non professional golfers try to hit that hero shot, and maybe 1 out of 10 we pull off. the other 9 of 10 we make double bogey or worse. Great video. Love course management videos.
Excellent video! These on course trainings are extremely helpful, keep going🙏🏻🏌️😃👍
When I'm in the rough as indicated in ball positions 3 & 4, I use a 10 finger grip. It helps to stop the club from closing.
Excellent instructions
1st time viewer here. Very good advice here. This will for sure help my game. Thank you!!!
Wonderful tips that I can use all the time. Glad I found you ... you have a new subscriber!
Great video thank you! Mind sharing name of the song at the beginning (0:32)?
Great video Matt, thanks for the advice
I will send this video to a couple of friends who always try the wrong clubs to get out of the rough and they won't listen to me perhaps they will listen to you, hopefully. Good video, thanks.
Great video Matt. Well done!
Great video of these different ball lies. You just got yourself a new subscriber
great vid to help regular golfers, really helpful! Also congrats on the content/video progress you've made over 2020 Matt!
Really helpful lesson thanks, loving the lob wedge would normally take 7 iron.
I need this 😂 Always trying to muscle it out there cus one time it worked, gotta play more smart
Very helpful. Thank you!
Best regards from Germany
“Take your medecine,” get back in play. So true!
