Any time you find yourself in this sort of position in a greenside trap, the only way to make a controlled recovery is to settle your weight firmly on your forward leg and then keep it there as you utilise a good wrist and arm action to avoid the back lip and then ‘chase’ the clubhead down the slope through impact

Go with the flow: the most important lesson on any sort of uneven lie is don't fight it. The onus is on you to adjust your stance/posture in such a way that you work with the conditions. So, in this case, settle the front foot into the sand for stability, and then plant your weight on that left side......

With your body stable, the key going back is to hinge your wrists sufficiently that the clubhead works up steeply to avoid the back lip. Note that I have gripped well down the shaft – that assists you in working the club up quickly. There is barely any bodymotion here – it's hands and arms

With the wrists essentially pre-setting the club in that early move (2), the upper body can then take over to complete the backswing. This three-quarter position is as far as you ever need to go. My weight remains supported on that left leg – there is no shifting of weight in this swing – the left thigh braced for balance

Approaching the ball, your focus must be 100%on the point in the sand at which you intend to deliver the club. Clearly, the upper body is rotating to clear the path for the hands and arms to swing the clubhead down the slope – 'chase' the club down into the sand and beneath the ball
