Unfortunately, during the high growing season with lots of rain, it’s very difficult to impossible to keep the rough that consistent. That’s the nature of golf, players need to adapt to the different conditions as they are always changing throughout the year. In the middle of January, I sometimes like it when the ball winds up in the rough so there is a little grass under the ball compared to the fairway.

It's called cutting the rough shorter (lower the mower)! It's one thing to have a difficult escape; quite another to have a lost ball mere feet off the fairway.
