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.
My favorite is when the Bermuda is tall enough to be in the way but thin enough that the ball is actually lying down on essentially hardpan. :-)
