You are not getting the clubface on the ball if your shots from the rough go short and left.  When the rough is thick you are probably catching the grass behind the ball and slowing down your swing speed if you are using a normal golf swing.  Here are a few swing adjustments you can make to ensure clean contact with clubface which will help propel the ball up and out of the rough.  Set your weight on your left side.  Make a three-quarter backswing that is upright.  Come down steeply on the ball which will minimize the amount of grass you catch.  Try it out the next time you head to the course.
