Bunkers

[GrumpyHog]

Do you have problems getting out of a green side bunker?

If you do, here is a tip I think you will like.

1. Open your stance so that your feet are way left of your target line ( if your right handed )

2. open the faced of your club

3. you Must lean left, placing most of your weight on your left side.

4. choke down on the shaft the same amount of inches your feet are down in the sand.

5. Your backswing and downswing must come from a steep angle.

6. hit 2 to 3 inches behind the ball and be sure to follow through all the way.

7. You can adjust the distance you want the ball to go by adjusting the loft of the club.


If you have a fried egg or a buried lie, try hooding your SW down and use the same technique described above.

Hope this helps.
