Bunker Shots End Up Short Of The Hole

Most high handicappers come up short out of greenside bunkers about 90% of the time.

This is the result of not accelerating the club through the sand - they get scared they will hit the ball to hard and fly over the green.

As you set up in the bunker, think in terms of striking the sand with enough force so that the ball will land near the hole on the fly. You will find that most of your sand shots will end up closer to the pin instead of coming up short.

This will also help your Sand Saves stats!
