Good lie fairway bunker. Do you try to take a divot in front of the ball?

Take an army swing, and yes take some sand in front of the ball. Club up 2 clubs also.

Get your weight on your left side and hit it thin.

Had an almost identical situation today...

I picked it clean and aimed for the center of the green- no need to get greedy firing at the pin

Depends on the type of sand in the bunker. Usually go for ball-first contact and a light cut of sand afterward. Often ends up with a mid/low shot with a ton of spin on it.

i try to stay tall. I do this by looking down at the ball and not digging into the sand too much with my feet. also i choke down on my club to make sure that i don't catch it fat.
