Playing out of a Divot

Open the face of your club and aim left of your target. Take the club back sharply on the outside and swing to the inside. Hit about a half inch behind the ball. Playing the shot in this manner tends to dull the contact between the club and the ball, therefore, it is necessary to hit it harder than you would for a normal shot of the same distance.
A perfect place to practice this shot is on the range where divots are plentiful. Unfortunately, there will always be players that do not repair their divots.
