Los Lagos Golf Club Weekly Golf Tip with JC Bacon, PGA Professional

Tip of the week- Bunker Play

Unfortunately many times we find ourselves having to play out of some bunkers during our round. Green side bunker shots can be intimidating but sometimes are not quite as difficult as we make them out to be. Try these tips to improve your bunker play:

The clubface must be open at address to maximize the loft of the club. Remember to aim your body to the left (right handed players) to compensate for the open clubface. The clubhead path should start by taking the club on the outside, and bring the club on the inside at impact. Outside-in or (cutting across) swing path. Be sure to aim 1″-2″ behind the ball and allow the sand to help take the ball out of the bunker.

We hope this helps your bunker play, with any questions on this shot or any part of your game contact your local PGA or LPGA Golf Professional.

Until next time, may you have more “sandies”, JC Bacon, PGA Professional
