LMAO!!! You can improve your lie in the rough if you can prove that you are roughly lying.
Your story reminds me of a story about Seve. This guy(can't remember who)is playing with Seve and the ball is lying in a real tough spot. The guy ask Seve if he can do this or that and Seve says "no" to everything. Finally the guys say "good, because that is your ball." LOL
