Just play it. I've played many shots like that over the years. Just because it isn't "ideal" doesn't mean it can (or should) be moved. I actually practiced shots from lies like that (entire shag bags worth) as well as shots from plain hardpan, asphalt even from concrete - it's part of the game. The biggest reason why people don't want to deal with shots like that (besides not quite knowing how to hit them) is risking nicks and scratches in their clubs. To me, an iron is a tool and I treat them as such. They're going to get scuffed and scratched and that's the way it is. Personally, I get a kick out of shots like that because they're challenging and to me, the bigger the challenge, the more "up for it" I get. -JP
