If your ball comes to rest against the collar of the green between the rough and the fringe of the green, do not reach for your putter.  A putter will get caught up in the rough and the ball will just dribble a few feet.  A better way to play this shot is to use one of your hybrid clubs and make a short chipping motion to bump the ball onto the fringe and get it rolling to the hole.  The hybrid club will glide through the grass behind the ball and not get stuck.  Practice this shot before you try it on the course.  It is a great shot to have in your bag.

Practice makes perfect, so now that you have a shot to practice the next step is to find a golf club with great practice facilities.  If you are considering purchasing a home in Naples or Bonita Springs and you are interested in a golf community, let me be your guide.
