Bounce a nine iron into the bank from bare lie

From a totally bare lie, the instructor chooses a nine iron into the bank. He puts it farther back than normal because the lie is dusty, works through his course routine, visualizes the shot, picks divots on the hill as the landing area, and lets it feed down.
