Sand Bunker Play - Video Advice

[cg13]

Hey Andy,

Thanks for being so dedicated to THP. Really appreciate your help and tips.

I have been devoting time of every range session to sand. I dont get out consistantly. I hit it too far (first shot), just right (2nd shot), short (3rd shot), way short (fat, 4th shot)

am i just entering the sand too far back? i play the ball between left heel and center - and try to enter the sand about halfway between my stance.

can you see anything from this video? or offer advice?
i dont expect to hole it everytime - but just get out, on the green with a 10-12 footer for par would be fantastic.

thanks man

The basics look pretty good. What I see here is a lot of body movement during the swing. To play consistant sand shots your body needs to stay quiet and stable. This should feel like shoulders and arms are all that move. Go to the TV/Radio section and all the way at the end there is a THP TV episode on how to play bunker shots. Give this a try and let me know how things go.

Golf Channel is having a special bunker show Aug 22. I've put that one on my calendar since me and bunkers don't get along.
