Sometimes, when the score is of no consequence, I will play from what I know is an unplayable lie. Usually just to see if I can do it. Those shots rarely turn out well, but every so often I will pull one off. I once hit a ball out of a wet, concrete drainage ditch, 50 yards for a birdie. I did not smell very nice for the rest of the round, but it was a great shot.

If the score is important, and I can get a club face in the ball, I will hit out of an unplayable. I might go backwards, under, forward, or sideways only because I don't like drops. If I hit the ball even reasonably well, I will usually wind up with a better ball position than what a drop would have afforded me. Sometimes even closer to the pin.

If I can't get a club face on the ball then I will take the drop.
