At the end of the summer on the course I been playing, not the best maintained I admit, the bunkers were low on sand and baked dried and hard (the Thames Water drought), now they are just like the beach immediately after the tides gone out, firm packed and very damp and soggy.

Either way I have no real idea how to get the ball out reliably - unless I quit on the shot I'm OK most of the time with "real sand" but I approach these bunkers not knowing where to begin.

Hopefully some of you guys have a suggestion.
