How are people getting their light rough to be shaped exactly like their fairways, and with a uniform thickness so perfectly? I create my fairways from scratch, as most do I believe, but then going back and edging it with light rough is painstaking because I can never get all of the areas consistently shaped to match the fairway and never the identical thickness all the way around.
*and then, of course, once you add heavy rough it squiggles it anyway
People must have this figured out, but I need to know what to do. Please help a noob!

Most of us (I'm one of them) use an (insert number here)-click method. I usually use the four-click... what you do is right after you lay down fairway, you don't move the brush, and you go to the light rough texture, and you add four layers of the light rough to make it uniform.

Once you lay down your fairway, do not move the brush, change the surface type to rough by using the left bumper and then click 3 or 4 times. Each click will add just a little bit more rough to the fairway edge.
Other folks measure out a set width using the distance tool and painstakingly apply rough.

Thanks guys, I saw this method in several tutorials as well, and I had been doing it this way, but I've run into some problems with it. I'll try to explain an example: let's say you lay your green down with a shape (or this has happened to me on the tee box as well) and then you leave your brush there and change it to light rough and use the click-method... I've had times where it isn't uniform on the second layer. Like, I'll click 4 times, and the brush seems to be hanging over the edge of the previous shape more on one side than the other, and when I push A to confirm and then look at it, sure enough it's still thicker on one side.
Did that make any sense?

Did that make any sense? One or two of the brushes are kinda weird that way - there's sort of deformed "8" shaped brush that will do that -- giving you a nice light rough on one contour, but almost nothing along the opposite side. I'd try using a variety of brushes just to test out if that's the issue. You can also manually touch up your work using the fuzzy rounded "banana curve" brush, and using it to both widen fairway or light rough where needed -- and also to eliminate squigglies... but it's a slow, painstaking process that take some practice before you get a sense of how near/far you need to be from the edge you're working on.

I don't know if you're working on relatively flat areas or not, but I've noticed that this happens occasionally if you are putting down brushes and using the -click method on a more hilly area or terrain. It can seem to "stretch" the light rough on the side that's steeper than the rest under the brush. TreeWood also has a good point - some of the brushes do odd things like that... and I usually try to always stick the the same brush, or brushes that have the same border thickness, as a result.

As rob says, it depends a lot on the brush you're using. Some brushes create wider rough, other brushes work the way you describe... I'm flirting now with Scampi's method, and despite it takes a bit more of time, once you get used to it, it works nicely: Here you have the thread with scampi's tutos This is the video where he explains the method

I don't measure my light rough like scampi, but use a fairly similar technique. When I have my fairway down I use one of the oval shapes and go around the entire fairway. It takes a lot of time, but I feel using the oval shape and keep it fairly small it gives me greater control.
The tricky part is getting the light rough width to stay consistent from hole to hole though so I might consider measuring out a small area just to get started.

Yep, I'm also using the oval brush, that's the more consistent. I use the measurement because of that, I make sure to have the same width

I see a lott of beautifull courses who doesnt have light rough around fairways and greens. It looks nice when you make the fringe a little bigger. Do you have to put light rough around your greens and fairways?

Do you have to put light rough around your greens and fairways? No, it's not mandatory. As long as you don't leave them hanging on the base terrain (This is mandatory) it'll be ok
