Golf influencer Paige Spiranac is back with another one of her popular instructional videos for beginners.
In the latest video from her “The Beginner’s Guide to Starting Golf” YouTube series, Paige Spiranac discusses the different types of grass (fairways, greens, and rough) and the types hazards on a golf course (water and sand).
“People often forget that these things aren’t obvious to new golfers, so I wanted to make sure no piece of golf terminology went uncovered!” she says in the video’s description.
For all you golf noobs out there, Paige explains in the video, “I first want to talk about the grass. So, shorter grass, a fairway cut is this [bends down and rubs short grass].
“As you can see it’s a little bit shorter and it’s not that long,” she begins. “From the fairway cut, which is shorter, you have rough, which is longer and so it’s a penalty. So when your ball lands in the rough it tends to settle down and it’s really hard to get the club head onto the ball because you have rough that interferes with your club head and the golf ball. And so it’s unpredictable on how it flies out, but never fear, I’m going to teach you how to hit out of the rough in one of our instructional series, so keep on watching for that later on.
