Escaping Fairway Bunkers

Problem

You are having difficulty hitting out of fairway bunkers.

Cure

Be certain to limit your knee action a little in the fairway bunker. This will allow your shoulders to work harder through the shot.

Therapy

Set the ball back just a little more than you normally do with your selected iron or hybrid. Keep your eyes on the back of the ball and sure to make a good shoulder turn.

I always focus on the front of the ball....to make sure I contact the ball before the sand.
