Bad lie in deep rough

Or, why you can’t always get where you want to get in one stroke.

When I played PGA Tour Golf on the Nintendo with my son, Joe, back in the 90s, I got all too used to the status update ‘Bad lie in deep rough’. ‘Buried in sand’ was another regular. Also, ‘The following players have not made the cut: MUM.’

Getting out of the rough was tricky and it inevitably felt like you were wasting a stroke. You had to work out how to get moving at all before you could start making more considered and nuanced decisions, from a clearer lie, about how to reach the hole.

If you’ve got a kind of ‘bad lie in deep rough’ situation going on workwise and need help reaching a clearer lie and then getting to the hole, come and talk to me.

I may not have been able to address that situation too well on the Nintendo, but I sure know how to do it in real working life.
