SEE A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY
When I hit a ball into deep trouble, all I want is a chance to make a swing. Whenever a golfer can swing the club, there will be a way out, however small, be it forward, backward, left or right. If the ball sits on an upslope, you might have a chance to hit it high, maybe through a gap in the trees, like I'm doing here. I call this una ventana de oportunidad (a window of opportunity). You also need a pretty good lie. If you're confident you have those elements, go for it. Keep your balance, and once you've made the commitment to play it, be decisive in the way you hit it. This might be a better option than a penalty drop.
