  Physically move the aimer to point backwards, sometimes sideways works,  out of the trap and use a high loft wedge.

  There was a poster a short while ago that asked the same question but argued it to be unrealistic for the game. Supposedly, buried in the side of one of those pot bunkers you have the option to declare it unplayable and drop IRL. If you picture it, it really would be unplayable because you aint flopping it out anywhere from a 50-60% lie in the side of a hill-LOL. Quirk of the game...........

  Get Bill Murray from Caddyshack and let him and his mole blow up the damn thing. Been stuck there hacking away a few times myself.

  Also, keep in mind the yardage marker will only show 5 or 6 yards max distance. Judge your yardage and direction accordingly. Usually 50% power with a lofted wedge like the others described works for me.
