The fried egg lie is one of the worst situations you can find yourself in. But instead of obsessing over it, use this technique.

Yes, fried eggs in the basement are a bad lie. Your first instinct may be to simply pop the ball out of the depression you made in the sand. Thank you, thank you. Trust: This one is easier than you think.
Just use your everyday stance and swing, with the following two changes: 1) As you settle into your stance, “close” the club by turning it inward so that the toe of the club points more toward your target than the clubface; and 2) emphasize tension on your downswing and follow the sand just behind the ball.
Swipe hard and don't worry: These two steps work like magic.
