  Has anyone encountered the bunker just before the green?  So far everytime I get to this hole, I always land in this bunker no matter how soft or hard I hit the ball and I cannot get out.  I use up all of my swings and still the ball does not move.  I tried using pitch, chip, flop, and nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

  Chip is absolutely useless. Can't u go out with full shot? Have u tried punch shot? Have u tried to aim left or right instead of aiming the hole?

  Yardage, lie, elevation?

  I think you mean you are against the front face of the bunker ? This is the way to get out of it.

  Move the blue aim triangle to behind you aiming back down the fairway you just came from. Lob or sand wedge 3/4 swing should be enough to put you back on track. Then you can play to the green from the fairway and with practice save your par. Just try and miss the bunker is the best solution, good luck.
