Hard Bunker Shots: Part 2

Hello everyone. In my last article, Hard Bunker Shots: Part 1, I discussed some tips about what to do when you have to hit a downhill bunker shot. But now, I will be talking about what you have to do when you have an uphill bunker shot.

Here are a few simple things to remember. First, always keep your weight on your front foot. You must also do that on every other bunker shot you take so you should know that by now. Next, make sure that you are positioned a little bit back on the ball. So the ball should be right in between your feet. This will help you make impact on the sand a little bit before the ball so that your ball will pop up enough to get out of the trap. Lastly, make sure that you stay balanced. If you are wobbling, you will have a good chance of falling flat on your face in the sand, which I can say from personal experience is EMBARRASSING! and screwing up your shot. I wouldn’t take any chances.
