Under Trees: Golf Long Irons

OK, so I find myself under this fine tree, these trees here, so it's not going to give me a good shot at the green so what I'm going to want to do with this one, I think I can take a long iron here, so in this case I've got my three iron, so since I can't take a full swing with my nine iron or my wedge, which is what I might use from this position to get the ball on the green I'm going to try to him more of a line drive, so, so I'm going to use this three iron, I'm going to choke down a little bit on it and because I can't take a full swing, as you can see and hear, I'm just going to try to take a half swing, kind of line drive it, hopefully it will roll and get on the green. So, I'm going to try to advance the ball but I've got to take into account that this soil is very loose, you can see there is a lot of dead leaves and rocks and other stuff here so it's not a great lie either, so I have to be very methodical and very calm, and I'm going to want to use this flat faced club just to get it out of here. So, let's see how I can do here. So, take about a half a swing... (swings club) and I pitch it out and that's a pretty good shot. So, sometimes that is the best you could do out of here, sometimes you get a miracle shot, but, you want to be able to use a low lofted club, like a three, a four, or a five iron to get out of here or if you want to pitch it onto the fairway so you have to start being creative with these shots because when you get these on the course there is really no set way to handle it so practice these shots when you have the chance because you will run into them on the course.
