How to get out the bunker β ππ #golf #golftips #golfswing #golfinstruction
PGA Golf Instructor Alex Elliott demonstrates a simplified step-by-step technique to get out of greenside bunkers consistently. By opening the clubface before taking your grip, lowering your hands, placing 60% of your weight on your lead foot, and striking the sand one inch behind the ball, golfers can produce high, soft bunker shots with spin.
Open the clubface before taking your grip, then lower your hands to keep the loft pointing toward the target.
Adopt a shoulder-width stance with the ball forward and dig your feet in for stability.
Place 60% of your weight onto your front side with knees slightly bent.
Aim to hit the sand about one inch behind the ball using equal backswing and follow-through lengths.
Commit to the swing with speed to carry the ball cleanly out of the sand.
