bunker shots

hi there,

how do you get the ball out from a bunker where the sand is hard?

Getting the ball out is usually not the problem, getting it to stop is the problem.

#1 Use a pitching wedge if the sand is hard, sand wedge has a bounce on the bottom
#2 80% of your weight is on your left side and must stay there during the entire swing
#3 Ball across from your left foot
#4 Swing your arms up and down and FOLLOW THRU LOW FOLLOW THRU LOW....

The most important thing in playing this shot is making good contact between the club and the ball. Here's how you do it ... play the ball back in your stance as this will produce a steeper angle of attack at the ball which will give you a better chance to hit the ball cleanly
