On many occasions you will find your ball off the fairway in the deep rough. Remember, the top priority is to get back in play in one shot without making the problem any worse!
Even if you have a good distance still to go, on most occasions the sensible thing to do is to take a lofted club and advance the ball some way up the fairway or even to pitch sideways.
Using a more lofted club, which will have a shorter shaft than a long club, will ensure that you naturally swing on a steeper angle, giving you a better chance to make solid contact and escape the tricky situation!

There will be starter classes for new players who can learn together and advanced classes for children with previous experience who will spend an increasing amount of time working on their playing skills on and around the Mini Monty par 3 golf course.
Non-members are welcome and the course costs BD60 per child for one hour of tuition per week for six weeks, inclusive of equipment. To sign your child up, call 17750777.
