Jim,

Look at the thread Hard Packed Wet Bunkers in this forum and try shot #2. It works equally well picking a ball out of the rough and off hardpan around the greens.

Another shot is to choke down to the shaft on a wedge, this will eliminate the twisting, play it off the right toe, slightly open stance, the club will look closed and play a sharp punch, the ball will pop out with some height under control and rolls like a putt. Pretty easy, dependable shot to have in your bag.
