Sand Shot Down the Line

Sand shots are the easiest shot in golf. 

Hit the shot using the following fundamentals:

Wiggle your feet in as shown in the video. This gives you stability and allows you to see if the sand is light and fluffy or wet and heavy. This sand is wet and heavy so I want to use my most lofted club with the least amount of bounce.
Stance is slightly open at address and shoulder width apart on the inside of your feet
Club face is slightly open at address and aiming at the target line
Shaft leans slightly towards the target at address
Take a good full swing as you will see in the video
Contact the sand 1 1/2 inches behind the golf ball and follow through keeping the club face square to the target line
Remember follow through and the goal is to get the golf ball out of the hazard.
