How to hit from the Bunkers
Step 1: Dig your feet into the sand for balance, also to test the thickness of the sand. The softer the sand the easier it will be to swing your club through and the less sand you should scoop underneath the ball. The thicker the sand the more sand you should scoop under to help lift the ball up in the air.
Step 2: Open up your stance. If you're a righty aim your feet left of the target, lefty right of the target. Opening up your stance allows your hands to come in and get underneath the ball more. Also to equal out for opening your hands, which leads to step 3.
Step 3: Open up your hands. Where ever your feet are aiming, aim your hands the other way to even out for your open stance. An open close face also adds loft which helps shoot the ball out of the bunker.
Step 4: Lean all your weight onto the front side. I don't know why it works, it just does. All pros do it and so do I.
Next time your in a bunker try this out. Good Luck!
Are you allowed to take a practice swing in another part of the bunker to test the weight of the sand? What about when the ball gets buried in the sand? Are bunkers always right next to the green or can they be elsewhere on the course?
ReplyDeleteI have been told by a golf "expert" (james wronoski) that you are not allowed any practice swings while in the bunker. Is this true?
ReplyDeleteJames is a golf god, but you are allowed to take a practice swing in the bunker but you CANNOT touch the sand. Like swing in the air.
ReplyDeleteInteresting man. So are you good at hitting from the bunker?
ReplyDeleteYeah Im alright.
ReplyDeletewhat happens if you touch the sand?
