text: what is the best club to use when trying to hit out of a bunker?   it all depends on the lie and the deepness or flatness of the bunker. mostly you would use a sand wedge, but i have seen pro's putt out of a green side bunker. it also depends on where the bunker is. if it is a fairway bunker, you may choose any iron and again, i have seen pro's hit a wood out of a bunker if the lie is good and they have quite a distance to the green.
