I had a ball near the left edge of the bunker. About 12 inches below my feet, because I had to stand on the grass. 100 yards to hole, so Iβm going to put it on. BIG MISTAKE.
First swing took some sand just inside the ball. I tried to make sure to stay all the way down on the next one. Same exact result! Third try I just nicked the ball. It moved a couple of inches to the right. So now I could get my back foot into the bunker and get down to the ball. Fourth try, I hit it to the fringe. A chip and a putt for a smooth 7. Bwahahahaha!
Lesson learned. If I ever have that again I will just chop it out and move on. Cripes.
