Re: hard packed greenside bunkers

i run into this at courses i play to, i personally because most courses the bunkers are kinda hard( there not gonna till them every day) .i took a 64 degree wedge and ground off some of the bounce, lets me get cleanly under the ballalso works great off thin lies where you need the ball to get up and stop fast.the shorter the distance to the hole the more you have to open the clubface and stance.i can open my club about 35 degrees open taking club back to 9 o,clock give it a good hard swing and follow thru and the ball will come sraight up and only travel about 10 yards with very little roll.word of caution make sure there nobody in you swing path if you skull it its gonna be 50 yards or more away.practise it alot its a real shot saver.
