What degree of sand wedge should I use when I am facing a bunker beside the green?
I want to ask which club should I choose when I am facing a bunker near the green, because when I am playing 18 holes, I always hit my shot to the bunker and I feel very hard to get the ball up to the green and I saw lots of Pros hitting the bunker shot and control them very well , so please tell me what degree of sand wedge should I use(56 or 60 degree) an how to hit the shot better?

Best thing to do, watch how the pro swings in the bunker. Practice your bunker shots and you will see how versatile one club can beDoes anyone know a good drill or tip to ensure a good clean strike of a golf ball with an iron?
It actually depends on the angle with which the bunker ascends to the green. Simply use the following mathmatical formula to determine the correct degree of sand wedge:2 / a2 - x2 / b2 = 1
--------------------- / 23x^ (5v<5y) x 2.32
x2 / a2 + y2 / b2 = 1

Where are they playing the Ryder Cup this year?
It all depends on which one you feel comfortable with. Also, they type of sand and lie will determine your shot. If you have to hit an explosion shot, then hit behind the ball and let it pop up. You can do this with the 60 deg or the 56, but just open the face a little. Wet or hard sand will cause you to need to pick the ball, and with that shot, you want to hit the ball and sand at the same time, and try not to disturb any sand with the shot. Either club will be suitable for that shot as well. You can only carry so many clubs, so determine which one you would use the most outside of the sand and go with it.

I'd go with the 56. You can use this in more situations (non-sand) than the 60.Golf lovers - have you managed to convince your wife/girlfriend to try it?
60 degree. Just play it as you were playing it from the fairway (don't hav a open or closed face). The bounce and loft of the club allows you to pop it out. This is the technique most professionals use.You can find some good tips for bunders at www.pga.com improve your game section
What is a 'best ball' tournament in golf?
Pros are pros. Don't forget that. They practice shot after shot for hours so don't think that you will be able to perform the same shot in a short period of time. Don't give up though, keep practicing. As for the wedge, it depends on what you like. I use a 58 degree wedge around the green and a standard sandwedge in the bunker.More Questions & Answers...
