DO THIS in the Bunker 👀🔥 #golfswing #golf #golftips #golfcoach #shortgame

Golfslump shares a key bunker tip learned from short-game instructor Joe Mayo to stop blading bunker shots over the green. By feeling ulnar deviation (pushing the trail thumb down) through impact, golfers can close the clubface slightly while maintaining enough loft to pop the ball out smoothly.

• Holding the clubface excessively wide open through impact exposes the leading edge, leading to bladed bunker shots.
• Apply ulnar deviation by pushing your trail thumb down through impact to close the clubface slightly.
• This technique prevents blading without losing the necessary loft on a high-lofted wedge.
• Set up with an open clubface with confidence, knowing the thumb-down movement will result in clean contact.
