bunker shot
Blast from sand
A bunker shot is a golf stroke played from a sand trap.
The technique differs from fairway shots—players typically open the clubface and hit the sand behind the ball, letting the explosion of sand lift the ball out: He splashed a beautiful bunker shot to within three feet of the pin.
