Don't be afraid of the sand...most pros would rather play from a greenside bunker than the rough. So the next time you are faced with a shot from the bunker, try this…
- Bend forward at the waist, so your hands are lower than normal.
- Aim your shoulders and feet to the left of the target (for right-handed players) and aim your club at the target.
- Stay loose and relaxed – you should feel no tension.
- Make a full shoulder turn, taking the club back following the same line as your shoulders and feet, drop the club behind the ball and finish all the way.
- Don’t rush - maintain a consistent rhythm through out the shot and avoid trying to “help” the ball out of the bunker.
