You have just hit a great drive but it runs into a fairway bunker! You are still a long way from the green so you want to get out and get as far as possible up the fairway. So what is the easiest way to get out and get a long way up the fairway?
The first thing is that you do not want to play the same sort of bunker shot you would from a greenside bunker (where you need to float the ball up and out to land softly on the green). Take any sand with your shot and the ball will not fly so far. And there is the clue to hitting out of a fairway bunker: You want to hit the ball taking little or no sand with it.
