How should I tackle a plugged bunker lie?

By Top 50 Coach Andrew Jones

There are two ways to play this shot, but the safest option for handicap golfers to get it out on the green somewhere or near it is to keep the clubface square to slightly closed with more weight on your left side at address, which will generate some shaft lean. You then simply have to muscle it out via a fullish swing with lots of speed, accepting that you will have very little control when it lands.

Take a risk For a softer landing, keep the clubface a little open then feel like you're burying the heel and not following through.
