We’ve all been in this situation: you go after a tight pin, closely guarded by a bunker, and wind up just short in the protecting bunker. The ball ends up just a few feet from the hole, the result being you have little green to work with. Worse still, the ball has plugged. As you know, trying to stop a ball from this situation is very difficult. Played the traditional way, with a square clubface and a fairly steep swing that strikes the sand a couple of inches behind the ball, the ball pops up and out with topspin and runs across the green.
