Coach’s Answer
Your question: “Help! I can't get out of the bunker”
No worries. 🙌 I got you covered Here’s how to make this feel automatic.
Getting out of the bunker can be tricky, but with the right setup, you can make it easier. Start by ensuring your alignment is spot on. When you walk into the shot, pay attention to where your feet are pointing. They should be parallel to your target line, just like your knees, hips, and shoulders.
Next, focus on your clubface. Aim it directly at your target first, then set your feet and body lines. This alignment helps you square the clubface at impact, which is crucial for getting that ball out of the sand and onto the green.
Finally, remember to use the right technique when striking the sand. Open the clubface slightly and take a shallow swing, hitting just behind the ball. This will help you lift it out smoothly.
Key Points
- Align feet, knees, hips, and shoulders parallel to the target line.
- Aim the clubface at the target before setting your stance.
- Use an open clubface and a shallow swing to strike the sand behind the ball.
