i had a real problem of getting out bunkers at St.Andrews once i have tried 3 flops but only once onto the green, how we should play these pot bunkers?

Hi,

The flop seems to work for me. Did you move the dot to the bottom of the ball before your shot?.

yes, i did, it always hit the rough then bounce back, maybe because i was standing right in front of the wall, maybe i need to try to hit backward to get out

This is exactly right. If you find yourself up against the wall of one of those pot bunkers you need to reaim backwards to get out. A normal wedge shot will do it.

I started a thread on this same subject, and WGTniv gave a good explanation in that thread titled, "St, Andrews, pot bunkers".

Sorry, I haven't yet figured out how to post a link.

The aim is the key, though. At the base of the bunker wall you have to aim in the opposite or parallel direction.

Here's your link, Richard... St. Andrews, Pot Bunkers

To that link there's a sort of solution here. With the reverse green zoom camera you can see down the fairway. This will enable you to aim out of the trap and see the yardage.
