Tip of the Week
Back to Bunker Basics
Address Position:Take a wider stance with your feet angled 30 degrees open to your target line. You can also dig your feet in a little to lower the level of your swing and for extra stability. Play the ball forward in your stance with a little more weight on your left side. Set clubface slightly open to your target.

Technique: Remember the idea is to let the sand lift the ball out so aim about an inch behind the ball making sure you hit sand first. Hinge your wrists early to create a steep swing path, concentrate on swinging down the line of your feet and make sure you follow through! During the swing remember to keep your eyes on the spot behind the ball and not on the ball itself – this will stop the thinned shot.

Happy Practicing!!

Regards,
Ryan
