When a Tour pro drives it into the long stuff at Shinnecock, the first thing they do is not pull a club. It is to walk up, look at the lie, and accept what the grass is willing to give them. The second-bad-shot, the one that turns a bogey into a seven, almost never comes from the rough itself. It comes from the decision made standing over the ball.</p>
