Some star players rely solely on the explosion, yet there are at least three other good ways to get out of a trap.
 If one has a fair knowledge of chip shots off the fairway, he may save himself many strokes by ap- plying this knowledge to shots out of shallow traps where the ball has a favorable lie. The only difference in inc two should be that in shoot ing from the trap, the use of a more lofted club is advisable. The ball must be hit a descending blow, taking sand after the ball Is hit.
