Remedy Terrible Bunker Shots

Spring is the best time for playing golf. Now, in this spring, you may want to improve your game, lower your handicap, gain more distance on your tee shots. Improve you bunker play is also very important. There are some tips to help you successfully get out of the bunker. Of course, the most important thing is that you should practice more with your golf clubs.

 

Sometimes you will hit your ball into the bunker, so be a good bunker player is useful. You just need to practice being consistent at getting your ball out of the bunker on the first attempt; and back into the fairway. Then use one of your  Fairway Woods hitting the ball. The tips below may be helpful for you to be a good bunker player.

 

Choke down on the club

 

You can control your club better if you place your hand at the opposed place. When choking down on the club, have your right index finger, about an inch from the bottom of the grip. You are able to hit it out of the bunker.

 

Narrow your stance

 

Narrow the distance between your lead -leg and back-leg, compared to that of a normal golf shot. Play the ball a few inches forward from your lead leg. You can gain control of the shot, and will allow for a higher ball trajectory once it is propelled out of the sand. This will led your body to become more stable throughout the entire swing process.

 

Focus to hit the sand

 

You are not trying to actually hit your golf ball during this swing process. Hitting the golf ball directly is about 100% guaranteed to end up plugging it even deeper into the sand; leaving you in a worse position than the first shot attempt out of the bunker. Aim for a spot 1 inch behind the ball, and then allow your arms and body to follow the ball as it leaves the sand.

 

Aim for a steep angle

 

When hitting the bunker ball, aim at a steep angle, to allow the ball to get up and over any bunker lip. Don't try to swing the golf clubs  too hard. You should attempt to blast the ball out of the bunker. Make sure your aim is to advance the ball out and back onto the fairway.

 

These tips may just be helpful for some players, but in a word, you should practice more and more. You know that even the top ranked golfers, such as Tiger and Phil Mickelson. They both have practiced for years. Then they get the amazing performance.
