Do This To Get Out Of Bunkers 100%

Golf Sidekick demonstrates a foolproof method for escaping greenside bunkers without using complex open-face techniques. By using a wide or fat-sole wedge, golfers can set up completely square and use a standard chipping motion to pop the ball out cleanly.

• Use a wide or fat-sole wedge designed for forgiveness in the sand.
• Set up square to your target without opening the clubface or stance.
• Aim to strike 1 inch behind the ball for longer bunker shots and 2 inches behind for shorter shots.
• Swing with a smooth chipping motion and commit to a full follow-through.
