How to hit the ball when the ball is buried deep in the sand.
When the ball is buried in the sand you'll have to create a swing with a deeper bottom than normal. There are two ways to adjust your swing in this way. The easiest way is to simply close the face and take away the bounce. Then the club will dig into the sand and get underneath the ball. The other option is to chop down steeply with the heel hitting into the sand first. The heel tends to dig and this will make it much easier to get a deeper divot.
