It Can Be Rough

Assignment

Walk along the edge of a fairway at your facility. Look closely at the rough: how long is it? What type of grass is it? How different is it from the fairway grass? Now walk 30 feet further into the rough (if permitted and safe). Write: (1) how different does the lie feel here vs the fairway edge, (2) how would this affect your ability to play a shot, (3) do you think the rough on this hole is appropriate for the design intent?
