Front edge closest the green or front edge farthest from the green? If you are at the front of the bunker nearest the green you should open your body and the face of the club and splash it out. If it is farthest from the green you should assess if you can get it out towards the green, if not you should think about playing out sideways or backwards to prevent racking up a huge number.

What is transfer of momentum in a bunker shot?
Transfer of momentum in a bunker shot refers to the efficient transfer of energy from the club to the sand and then to the golf ball. By striking the sand behind the ball with speed and control, the momentum is shifted to the ball, allowing it to pop up and out of the bunker. This transfer is key for generating height and distance on bunker shots.
Do you get relief if ball lands in bunker full of cut brush?
When a ball lands in a bunker filled with cut brush, the player generally does not receive relief. According to the Rules of Golf, areas inside a bunker are considered part of the bunker, and players must play the ball as it lies unless there are specific circumstances that warrant relief, such as an obstruction or safety issue. However, players can typically remove loose impediments in the bunker, provided they do not disturb their ball. If the condition of the bunker is deemed unplayable by the local rules, players may need to consult the specific regulations in play.
What is the name of a shot out of bunker into hole in golf?
A shot out of a bunker into the hole in golf is often referred to as a "sand shot" or "bunker shot." If the ball goes directly from the bunker into the hole, it is sometimes called a "hole-in-one from the bunker," although this is quite rare. Players typically use a sand wedge for this type of shot to help lift the ball out of the sand.
Can you obtain relief for gur in a bunker?
Yes, if a bunker is marked GUR you are entitled to a free drop. To do so, you remove your ball from the bunker, and from the nearest point of relief you are allowed one club length, you drop your ball and play. If there is water in the bunker and there is no GUR marked you are allowed a free drop in the bunker, no nearer the hole. If you cannot get relief from the water you can either play it or you can take a penalty drop out of the bunker.
Where do I go to get in and out of the bunker in golf?
To get in and out of a bunker in golf, you should first approach the ball carefully, assessing your stance and the lie. Use a sand wedge or similar club, and take a slightly open stance while positioning the ball forward in your stance. Focus on making a clean, shallow swing that strikes the sand first, using the club's bounce to help lift the ball out. Practice is key to mastering bunker shots for better results on the course.
How can a golfer effectively recover from hitting out of a fairway bunker?
To effectively recover from hitting out of a fairway bunker, a golfer should use a lofted club, open the clubface, and aim to hit the ball cleanly with a steep angle of attack. This will help the ball get out of the bunker and back onto the fairway. Additionally, maintaining good balance and following through with the swing can improve the chances of a successful recovery shot.

If the ball is no longer in the bunker you are in you may ground the club, but be aware, there is really no need to.

Can you remove a stick in front of your ball in a bunker?
Generally, no. Loose impediment. 2 stroke penalty. If that stick is attached to another stick with a bunch of little sticks (i.e., a rake for the bunker), then yes. Also, you cannot remove leaves from the bunker or loose pebbles. having said that, don't ruin your wedge grooves by playing out of crappy bunker conditions if you're just practicing. Pebbles reek havoc on forged wedges.
