Natural Rough

Play away from the long natural rough because even if you find your ball it is difficult to get your club on it.  Once you have found your ball, play the ball back in your stance, lean on the front foot and come down on a sharp angle. This way it might pop out onto the fairway.

Putting

To be a good putter you must make sure when addressing the ball that your eyes are directly over the ball. To check your position, drop a ball from eye level and it should hit the ball on the ground.
