Watch the Club Face in a Golf Bunker Shot

September 17, 2007 | under Beginners, Golf Tips, Sand Bunkers |

Most bunker shots will require you to hit the ball into the air with just enough distance to clear the lip in order to reach the green. Less distance and more height is the key.   This is especially the case for beginners in the game of golf.

The club you choose should be the shortest and most lofted club that you have in your golf bag. The sand wedge is almost always the best choice!

In order to play your bunker shots effectively, you have to be consciously aware of what is going on with the clubface. Remember that you are using a high lofted club, particularly the sand wedge, which means that it needs to remain lofted as it scrapes its way through the sand and scoops the ball skyward.

When you grip the club and take your swing, you do not want to do anything that ruins the technique and de-lofts the ball, such as attempting to help the ball become airborne, breaking your wrists, or changing up the angle.

If you want to learn more about hitting from the bunker, I would recommend Bobby Elridge’s tips on hitting from the bunker.
