Hitting a bunker shot is literally one of the easiest shots in golf, but to the average amateur it can be terrifying. The fear of blading a shot across the green or chunking it and leaving it in the bunker is enough to paralyze a golfer over the shot and just hoping for the best. But with these three simple keys you'll learn in this instructional video you'll be thinking about hitting it close, not worrying about hitting your playing partner.
- Bunker shots need to get up into the air, which requires plenty of loft and spin - spin comes from loft and speed
- The club face doesn't strike the ball directly - it strikes the sand, which carries the ball
- Set up with the back of the club face in the sand and the shaft very low to increase loft
- Take a fairly open stance with the ball off your left instep, and some backward shaft lean
- Strike with the bounce of the club to travel through the sand shallow & get closer to the ball
- Drill by drawing a series of boxes in the sand - swing through several empty boxes to check your divot, then move on to balls in the last boxes
