Today I’m going to discuss the standard green side bunker shot. For most amateurs the bunker shot sends chills down the spine, due to fear of not knowing the proper technique.
Well here’s a few tips to help you extract your ball out of a sandy grave with as little pain as possible.
- Position the ball forward in your stance. (Closer to your left heel)
- Open the clubface, and then take your grip.
- Open your stance relative to the flag. (Feet and shoulders point left of flag)
- Point the clubface at the flag.
- Distribute more weight on your left side. (60/40)
- Swing down your shoulder line to full finish.
- Remember not to try to hit the ball. Strike the sand 2-3 inches behind the ball.
Hope these few simple tips help. Remember; don’t be afraid of the shot. Take these tips and get into the bunker with confidence.
Cheers,
