These lies can lead to scorecard-wreckers, so it's important you know how to get your ball back into play when out on the course. Firstly, don't be greedy! Make sure you take a lofted club - a wedge for example - which will help get you out of trouble. A lesser lofted club won’t get the ball in the air quickly enough, as the club comes in at too shallow an angle, resulting in it getting caught up in the grass behind the ball. You should also make sure you play the ball further back in your stance, which encourages a steeper angle of attack to elevate the ball out of the grass nice and quickly, ensuring you can play your next shot from the fairway.
