This quick presentation gives you some easy steps to help you pitch from the rough.

1. Essential Tips for Pitching
From the Rough

2. Pitching from the rough is one aspect of the game that
most golfers do not like to be faced with. But, you have
to learn to handle it and practice hard in case you find
your ball in the rough. So, the most important thing is to
develop a mindset of surmounting any obstacle that
comes your way. Building confidence and curing your
yips are very important to achieve this.

3. Don't Let the Grass Affect
Your Mindset

4. Pitching from the rough effectively requires that you do
not allow the rough grass surrounding your golf ball to
affect the quality of your pitch shot, especially because
the rough grass is capable of twisting the your club
face. Essential tips that can help you go about this are
outlined below.

5. After developing the proper mindset for pitching from
the rough effectively, the next thing you need to work on
is how well you grip your club and the stance you
maintain while delivering the shot.

6. Aim the Pitching Wedge

7. Pick up the proper pitching wedge and aim at the
position from which you will enter through the grass.
This should be between 1 to 2 inches behind the ball.
Then, grip the club in a way that ensures that the club
head is ahead of your grip during the downswing. The
grip is extremely important when pitching from the
rough because it contributes greatly to the final quality
of the shot alongside other factors. The firm grip allows
your club to bite through the grass and lift the ball out of
the rough in the desired direction.

8. Have a Proper Stance

9. Now to your stance, you have to widen it a bit, just a
little less than or about the width of your shoulders. Flex
your knees and arms slightly towards the ball as this will
combine with your stance to give you a good delivery
when pitching from the rough.

10. Keep the Club Face Open

11. During delivery of the pitching shot, you have to keep
the club face open through the back swing and also on
the down swing. Aim at the point through which you
intend to deliver the hit and wiggle your club back and
forth a little to accustom your self to the position. Also,
keep your eye focused on the ball and target point while
delivering your pitching shot.

12. Control the Path of the Ball

13. Finally, you have to use your body, chest and wrist
movements to control the final path of the ball after the
hit is made. Keep your chest moving during both swings
and let your wrists serve as hinges driving motion into
the ball through the club head. You will be amazed at
how well you will be pitching from the rough if you
practice hard with these tips and develop a mindset that
can help you handle such pitches effectively.
