Want to be super savvy out of the sand?

If you want to be super savvy out of the sand – try my 3 power plays!

Play #1 – Address the ball one inch behind the ball and never hear the click of the ball contacting the club. To control shots out of the sand, understand that you never actually make contact with the ball.

Play #2 – Take your full swing. A bunker shot requires moving lots of sand, and it’s this movement of sand that moves the ball. Your ball is being lifted onto the green by the sand so you have to commit to taking a full swing…..as long as you don’t hear the ball at all, you will not hit it too far.

Play #3 – Understand that your club is your sand “tool”. An open face will slide through the sand while a square or closed face will dig. When there is wet sand or very little sand, for example, an open face will most likely glide and end up hitting the ball. Try using a square face to dig whatever sand you can, resulting in the sand moving the ball.

Good Luck with your Power Play from the Sand!
