Coach’s Answer
Your question: “Help! I can't get out of the bunker”
We’re about to groove it. 🎵 Do these next and you’ll feel the difference.
Getting out of the bunker can be tricky, but with the right setup, you’ll find it much easier. First, focus on your alignment. Make sure your feet, knees, hips, and shoulders are all parallel to your target line. This alignment is crucial for squaring the clubface and sending the ball where you intend [1].
Next, when you walk into the shot, aim your clubface at the target first. Then, adjust your body so that your feet align with the target line. This will help eliminate any mismatches between where you think you're aiming and where you're actually aiming [2][3].
Lastly, remember to open the clubface slightly and take a nice, smooth swing. Don’t be afraid to follow through; a good follow-through helps ensure you make solid contact with the sand and the ball.
Key Points
- Align your feet, knees, hips, and shoulders parallel to the target line.
- Aim the clubface at the target before adjusting your body.
