Get recovery shot?

Somebody please help me! I’m doing the sponsor challenges and I’m stuck at get 2 and get 3 recovery shots. I’ve hit the rough, bunkers and water and still can’t get a star. Help me before I lose my mind. I can’t go on purposely hitting into the rough and bunkers, reminds me too much of real life golf.

    I just have this a quick try and the recovery shot star unlocked after I'd hit three shots from the rough onto the green. The first two were flops and the third a finesse. I'd played one shot from a bunker onto the green but presumably that didn't count.

    I hate challenges that require you to deliberately play badly!

    @banshee1012 Is the challenge just getting the shot onto the green? Does it include getting the shot w/in a certain distance of the pin? In some cases, I've found it easier to settle for get 1-2 of the challenges completed and moving on :-)

    Bunker play: Best shot choice is the "Pick" which pretty much stops the ball immediately or a foot.

    Rough: Adjusting for distance and rollout the issue? Green elevation plays a part, along with club selection & shot type. Hard to discuss w/o knowing the actual situation.

    It’s the description I’m confused about. “Get 3 recovery shots” I’ve tried hitting from the rough onto the green and from bunkers. Not sure where I’m going wrong.

    No idea I've tried it just finished but couldn't get the recovery ones ...tried bunker shots and rough shots ...hope don't mean like hole out from bunker or rough could take awhile lol
