I am playing on Sunday morning and am on #10 - a 195 yard slightly uphill par 3.
I get out my TM RM 22* hybrid and hit it nice and square but about 2 yards short of the green. I chip up and 2 putt for bogey.
Two holes later, on a dogleg right par four, I find myself 195 to the center of the green, but my ball is down in the rough to the point that the top of the ball is even with the top of the grass.
Take out the same club....tell myself to hit it with a good downward blow - which I do.
The ball flies out hot and at normal height, headed toward the left side of the green....
I go up there....no ball. Check the two leftside bunkers.
No ball.
Check the back fringe....nope.
One of my playing partners points out the ball 15 yards past the back edge of the green. I've just hit the same club out of moderately deep rough 210 yards. Same club I hit only 185 when placed upon a tee just two holes previously.
My normal yardage for this club is 205. Still trying to figure out how it got out of the rough and carried beyond normal yardage....and frankly it landed in rough...so it did not get any runout. If it had hit fairway, I would have gotten another 5-7 yards out of it for a total of 215-217 or so.
Can't figure this one out.
