Hold It Open

Problem

Slightly downhill bunker shot.

Cure

Just as you would in the fairway, match your hips and shoulders to the slope of the ground.

Therapy

Set up with your stance slightly open. Instead of swinging along the aiming of your feet, swing down the target line to the flag. Do not release the club with your hands. You want to hold off on the shot so that you hold the club open well past impact.
