BUNKER SHOT

How to handle the bunker shot!

When you approach the bunker it is important to understand that this is not a difficult shot as shots go. The four simple keys are:

  1. Use an open stance and place more weight back in your heels.
  2. Square the club in the intended direction that you want the ball to go.
  3. Play the ball forward in your stance and your weight forward as well.
  4. Hold the club with a weak grip. This means your top hand positioned more to the left with your thumb more on the twelve o'clock position and your bottom hand more on top of the club. This will allow the club to stay lofted through the ball allowing the club to do most of the work.

Remember to take a LONG SLOW swing from a green side bunker. You will be amazed if you stand to the ball correctly that this shot becomes simple to execute. Confidence is bred from practice. Take a little more sand for a close flag placement and a little less for longer shots.
If you still are having difficulties please give us a call and we will be happy to assist you with this simple shot. All the best.

THE RESULTS WILL COME!

Hi Fans:
This photo is a little older, but it is proof that a little dedication and commitment to the improvement process will payoff. The results will come. This win came after I embarked on the instructional process with Mike himself. He told me what to do, and I just kept doing it. You can do it to!
