Playing Tip: Sand Play

Bunker Play: Many golfers are defeated before they attempt a sand shot because they fear them.

Make bunkers your friend, not an enemy. With proper technique and practice I guarantee you will enjoy being in the sand instead of heavy rough.

When in a bunker you must:

* establish firm footing
* take open stance
* open the clubface
* weight distributed more to the left side
* swing the club back and through the same distance
* hit the sand 2 inches behind the ball
* don't let the clubface close
* accelerate through the ball


Remember: Sand is your ally, not your foe.
