A Couple of Different Approaches to Greenside Bunkers

You’d think there would be a lot of good videos about how to play bunkers, but there really isn’t.

This is a pretty good video of how to play out of greenside bunkers, and it shows two different approaches to playing the same type of shot.

Both techniques are good, and I personally approach how to play sand shots like the first approach (but like the guys in the videos say, neither technique is really better or worse than the other).

Remember the main goals of green side bunker play in order of importance:

  1. Get the ball out of the bunker
  2. Get the ball on the green
  3. Get the ball close to the hole

Hopefully this helps.

Maintaining Posture in the Golf Swing

One of the most important things you can do in your golf swing is maintain your posture.  It doesn’t matter how good your set up is or your timing, if you come out of your posture during your swing it is near impossible to strike the ball consistently well.
