Watch this video for the best way to get out of simple bunkers… 🤔

Peter Finch demonstrates a clear and repeatable technique for getting out of simple greenside bunkers at Royal Lytham & St Annes. He outlines critical setup adjustments including opening the clubface, forward ball placement, wiggling feet into the sand, and aiming the shaft at your belt buckle. Maintaining speed through a shallow impact just behind the ball ensures consistent sand escape.

• Open the clubface and place the ball towards the front of your stance.
• Wiggle your feet into the sand for balance and establish shaft alignment pointing at your belt buckle.
• Swing around the body with a shallow motion, contacting the sand just before the ball.
• Maintain swing speed through impact to splash the ball out effectively.
