Feet Outside/Ball Inside Bunker

Author: golf4fun, 07 20th, 2008

The Situation: Your Bail is hung up on the left side of a fairway bunker, forcing you to stand on the grass and play a shot with the ball several inches below your feet.

Why It’s Difficult: Almost anything can happen-a shank, a heavy miss etc.

The Solution: Spread your feet wider than shoulder width and position the ball just inside your left foot. The steeper the slope, the more the ball will go right, so aim well left of your target. Then bend your knees and drop your rear end to get your club down to the ball-don’t just bend your torso forward. When you swing hinge your wrists quickly and keep your lower body quiet to maintain balance.
