wearing too much white for this shot, wedge from the water a few weeks ago. :bulgy-eyes: Played it a lot like a bunker shot - Suggestions?

 
Thanks for the video! My rule of thumb if my ball is in the water, is if half the ball is out of the water then I will try and hit it. You are on track that it should be played like a bunker shot. So open up your clubface, play the ball forward with an open stance. Then it is an easy "splash" thought from there. Hopefully you don't encounter this shot too often. :)

Nice shot, sepfeiff!

Also, that is some nice steady camera work on the video as well.

Thanks!

You did a lot better then I did. I tried this once last december in 38 degree weather in Washington state. I took off one shoe and sock and stood in ice cold water. I got the ball up close to the green but to my surprise the splash came straight up and hit me in the face. It was a good laugh but really cold.
