What thoughts can I use to control the distance and direction of this shot? How much does the lie determine what happens to this shot.?
Wet lie and dry lie in short grass, medium grass, and rough in addition to where the ball is located ( on the bottom or top in those grasses)?

Martin Chuck did it first and better. Give him credit for this copy of his notion. JRREYNOLDS.
