Bunker Shot Basics

If you need some height on your bunker shots use the following fundamentals:
Ball position forward toward your front foot
Body line open to the target
Club face open and aimed at your target
During the back swing roll the club face open a bit
Hit the sand 1 1/2 to 2 inches behind the golf ball
Follow through and keep the face of the club square moving down the target line
Be sure to keep the club moving at impact or the golf ball will not get out of the bunker
You will see in the video when hit properly the golf club will pass the golf ball after impact
The golf ball has rolled up the face of the club
The shot will fly high and land soft
