Here's one I faced yesterday:

My ball came to rest 15 feet from the left edge of the green, thirty feet from the pin, next to a bush that impeded my backswing. The ball rested on dirt, right in front of a cantaloupe-sized pile of pine needles. There was a bunker on the opposite side of the green.

How would you play this shot?

I have this magic punch shot with a 3-iron (delofted) that I use in those situations and after enough of them you get a feel for how hard to hit it. I lock my wrists and stand at a 45º open stance to the target (chipping video by John Jacobs years ago) and it works.
