Bunker Shots Debunked

About this course

This course identifies and explains the key principles of bunker shots. For most shots from the sand that golfers are faced with, the quite bizarre goal of intentionally avoiding direct contact with the ball is set. Therefore, this golfing skill sets very specific challenges. The truly unique set-up requirements including clubface aim and body alignment are outlined and linked to performance characteristics. Key swing points are analysed and differing shot scenarios are also discussed. Furthermore, reassuringly the relatively substantial margin for error in greenside bunker shots is highlighted, but this only exists with the utterly integral swing characteristics that are also mentioned. Additionally, a simple yet highly effective practice drill is outlined, which helps to build confidence and ultimately a more consistent strike pattern. This course removes the fear and dread from bunker shots and can ultimately eradicate those traumatic card wrecking moments that may have haunted your golf until now.
