Trapped in a Bunker

Problem

You cannot seem to get out of the sandpit.

Cure

Acceleration is key while making sand shots. Be certain to accelerate so that your follow through is long enough to get your hands higher than your belt.

Therapy

Open the clubface before gripping the club. Focus on hitting into the sand two inches behind the ball. Allow the flange of the club to glide through the sand and under the ball in order to get it out. Your hands should be chest high at the end of your follow through.
