The Situation: Your ball has come to rest in the depression it made in the sand.
Why It’s difficult: With sand behind as well as under the ball, it takes extra muscle to get the ball up and out.
The Solution: Open your stance , set the club-face square and favor your left side with your weight. Take the club up and back down to impact on a steeper, vertical angle than usual, and enter the sand only an inch behind the ball. The key is to imagine that you’re trying to bury the club in the sand and then leave it there.
