I think that's the beauty of Bermuda grass. I've played numerous local courses in Central FL that have actual rough. Sometimes you get a lie on the top of the Bermuda and sometimes it sinks down. It's supposed to be a 1/2 shot penalty to hit into the rough. Unless I'm in a hazard in TV I'm almost always on a relatively tight lie even in the 'rough'. I think it is by design and I've been told it's for pace of play. I think looking for your ball as it bounds away from the hard pan rough is the actual cause of most pace issues. But that's just me - I don't think it will ever change in TV. But I still enjoy our golf around here. I just think it could be better with a different style of golf course management thinking.
