What you describe about the rough is correct. Bermuda rough at the proper height will result in varying lies. Some will sit up on top, but most will sink to the bottom. Those that sink to the bottom will be difficult to extract. I suspect those that say that mowing the rough to near fairway height was done to reduce time looking for errant shots are probably correct.
It appears my efforts to provide some insight into maintaining a golf course in the south during periods of reduced rain and during periods of intense use are failing miserably against the posts of those who "know" the maintenance people and golf administration are incompetent and uncaring.
I have no more to add to this thread. Enjoy your time wherever you play.
