quick poll: greenside bunker with no lip

[doublesuited77]

ok guys, here is the situation.

You are in a greenside bunker, about 20 feet above the hole. The Bunker has no lips and you have a perfect lie. About 15 feet of rough between the bunker and the green and another 60 feet to the hole. The green is fast and running towards the hole.

Do you hit a blast bunker shot or just chip the ball?

I'll chip that ball with a 9 or 8 iron almost every time.

Hmm I might chip it with a 9 or I might get tempted to grab a 60* and blast it out of the bunker and drop it dead on the green.

I go texas style and putt it out. I've practiced it so I use it a lot when there is no lip. Since its sloped down towards the hole, that would be an ideal play since you just have to get it about 20 feet past the rough and gravity will do it's thang.

Since you said there is rough to clear I would probably do a normal blast bunker shot.

I'm pretty confident in my sand blasts so I'll probably go for that since it's an easier shot. Most likely I'll take a 56 to get some more roll out. If I didn't have any room to roll, I'd pick it with a wedge to spin it more but in this case, splash and roll it out.

Chip it out for spin and land it halfway to the hole and let the slope the the rest.
