DonM well, seeing how the rough isn't all that rough, more kinda sparse growth on sandy ground. Looks like the gorse is what should be avoided at all costs...
For the most part, those who have been in the rough look to have been able to get up and down about as easily as those off the fairway for their 2nd shot. The rough definitely is NOT like anything at Torrey, Augusta, Pebble, or the like.
