Heath
Heath is a type of rough in golf that heavily affects the lie of the ball the most out of all types of roughs, including the Heavy Rough and Bunkers. Players cannot hit the ball very far when in the Heath, the power meter charges up more quickly when starting a swing, and the sweet spot gets heavily lowered for the harder hitting clubs such as wood, to the point that if the player does not align the bar properly in the perfect spot, they duff the ball. This terrain first appears in Mario Golf for the Game Boy Color and Mario Golf: Advance Tour, appearing on the Coo-Coo Course and the Links course. In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, this hazard is found only in Bowser Badlands, and it appears in either the outside of edges of the course or as small patches interspersed in the Fairway. The Heath reappears in the Gold Links course of Mario Sports Superstars, replacing some of the Heavy Rough with the Heath.
