Fried egg/poached egg. | Golf Monthly

Have also heard both being used for different types of lie in the bunker

Fried Egg the one that has landed the created a crater around it with the ball looking like the yoke and crater the white

And poached egg the one that is deep down in its one pitch mark in the bunker with the sand going over the ball a little

You mainly get fried eggs in bunkers with very fine fluffy type sand and poached egg in the more compact heavy sand ( mainly when the sand is wet )
