Learning to hit a golf ball is one of the toughest things someone can go through. It seems that it is impossible to consistently hit the ball first. Most beginners who do hit the ball first, fail to make contact with the ground, resulting in a thin shot. This, alone, makes the game of golf extremely tricky; however, the fact that golfers will experience different rolls on different grass makes the game even tougher.

Each time a golfer lines up for their shot, they visualize it landing on the target. Professional players are almost certain that the ball is going to land in that spot, so this makes different types of grass easier for them to manage. However, amateur players tend to over-swing, which can put them in a lot of gnarly grass. When they line up for that par 5 drive, they grip the club and aim straight down the middle of the fairway. The problem is that they end up slicing it or pulling it way left, if they are lucky. Unfortunately, golf courses are not designed for people who fail to hit the ball straight; therefore, these golfers will find themselves in the rough. The rough is not the worse case scenario, as they golfer is not receiving actual penalty strokes, but they are more susceptible to errors as a result of the different cuts of grass.

When on the fairway, the ball will tend to roll as the grass is cut fairly short. When the golf balls lands on the putting surface, the golfer may even see the ball roll backwards. The excessive backspin occurs when the golfer makes perfect contact and the ball lands softly on the short grass. The rough is where things become tricky, as it is hard to judge how deep the ball is. When hitting out of the rough, golfers will find that the ball comes out very low and hot, making the shot tougher to control.
