Happy Advent Season. For the first 24 days of December 2022 our podcast host, Mark Immelman, will be doing 'Short-form’ podcasts with 'Tips from The PGA TOUR,' Video Golf Tips posted on his Social Media Channels, and the usual “Long-form’ #OntheMark Podcast Interviews with Featured Guests. In this episode Mark teaches you how to "read lies" in the fairway, but especially in the rough, so that you can select the correct club and get the ball to travel the appropriate distance. After all, hitting Greens in Regulation is a function of direction and distance and so knowing how far the ball is likely to fly, and perhaps roll, is paramount to hitting more targets. Mark describes the nature of the "Flier", how it happens, how it is likely to perform, the types of lies in the rough, and sometimes the fairway, that lend themselves to Fliers, and what you can do to extricate yourself from the situation with minimal damage. All of these PGA TOUR insights and lessons are things that all of the game’s leading players consistently do. They are elements that Mark has witnessed during his years as an on-course announcer and they are all but guaranteed to lower your scores.
