You’ll very rarely face a shot from a dead-flat lie and it’s not uncommon to find your ball lying on a slope above your feet.

When you’ve missed the green on the short side, the only way you can get close to the flag without hitting the pin is to play the high lob shot.

Recovery Zone - Tight Lie Chip

Rob Watts, 09 July 2010 21:08

Chipping from a tightly mown fairway can strike fear, or perhaps a fear of strike, into the amateur golfer.

Recovery Zone - Shot from the collar

Rob Watts, 21 June 2010 10:48

Your approach shot into the green on a par four takes a big bounce, bounds through the green and rests up against the collar of rough that divides the rough and the fringe. It’s an especially common scenario in the summer when the greens are firm so you need to make sure you’re prepared and know how to overcome this ...

Recovery Zone - 5-wood bullet from the rough

Rob Watts, 21 June 2010 10:18

From the rough, you’ve got a variety of clubs you could select when hitting an approach shot into a par four or five. But there’s none more versatile than a five-wood.
