But before you become a member, let's find out how to hit a hit out of a bunker over water to an island green
This "Tip from the Pro" bought to you by Golf University the world's premier golf improvement program
Grant we've both ended up in the bunker we've got water in front of the bunker
But before the green and behind the Greens more water and it's an island green
This is got to be the hardest shot in golf. You know, these are tricky aren't they?
The key Andrew is to try and make sure you contact in the ball and then the sand
the best procedure for that is
instead of in a bunker digging both feet in in a bunker shot
Like this are most fair bunker shots. If you dig your front foot in only that'll lean your body forward
So we want the front foot in only keep the weight on that foot all in the centre neither too far for me, too
Too far forward or too far back and we're really trying to contact that ball first with a little half swing
I'm not sure. Oh
Oh, oh heart wide says
okay, so
Front foot in I only see your instinct if I want to shuffle so you don't want that, right?
Front foot tug in only yeah, and that'll help lean naturally lean your body forward
Good and then a half swing just a half swing make sure you're following through problem
Bingo
Wow
So it makes it so much easier to contact the ball first and then the sand
If we either don't dig our front foot in or we dig both feet in were a chance to hit the ground or to take
too much
Sand and we know where that one goes there
