It gets up and flips, panning back to the left, away from the water and landing inside 15 feet. I stretch out to my left, away from the rough enough so I have a line over the tall bushes in front of me and put up one of my go-to get-out-of-trouble shots: a tomahawk. I keep a very, very beat up Roadrunner - it’s one of the very first discs I ever bought years ago - in my bag for situations exactly like this. All wasn’t lost, but I wasn’t out of the woods yet. This is the kind of hole nobody is birdieing without a huge skip shot, but it’s not one you want to take a 4 on either - especially in my situation. A friend on the card, who was well out of the running for the lead, reminded me that’s just about the last place you want to end up, but I still wasn’t that worried. But - oops - I leave it a little high, and that low ceiling kicks me to the edge of the rough, halfway down the fairway and just in front of the dogleg with no angle for an air shot around the corner. I throw plenty of forehands, so I’m not thinking twice about this tee shot. With just two holes left to play, I had a two stroke lead stepping up to a 420-foot dogleg right hole with a low ceiling off the tee, water 35 feet behind the basket, and a fairway lined with rough you don’t want to find. Last summer I was - to my immense surprise! - in the lead in my division at one of the larger tournaments in my area. These creative throws are both a fun part of the game and a great way to lower your scores. Over the next few months we’ll be running a series on Utility Shots in our Tuesday Tips section, with instructional content ranging from common ways to get out of trouble to the rare and unusual.

That’s why it’s important to know how to scramble and get out of tricky situations on the course. We all find ourselves off the fairway and in the rough sometimes.
