Get out of heavy, wet rough
The secret to getting a good shot out of heavy, wet rough is mostly in your setup. Grip the club more tightly than usual to prevent the grass closing the face down. Hold the club above the ground so that you do not catch grass in your backswing. Hit down steeply and follow through to a high finish. The ball should come out and run quite a bit because it will have very little spin on it.
