I’m going to show you the simple steps to get out of the bunker every time. I see people struggling in greenside bunkers unnecessarily. And I’m going to give you the very quick keys that are going to help you get out. No matter what level you are, you’re going to stop leaving in the bunker and get it on the green. You’re here on YouTube watching golf instruction and I wager you have seen many bunker tips lessons out there. But there’s a reason why you’re watching this because you’re still struggling with them. Here’s the thing. A lot of those lessons that you might see out there are basically just too complicated. The technique requires a bit too much practice. When I play with golfers, I want to make sure and my golfers when they go out and play, it has to be simple. It has to be executable. And you have to be able to remember what you’re supposed to do in more situations. Here at Greenside Bunker, we need to reduce the variables. We need to make sure priority number one is to get this sucker out. So, let’s simplify it. Before I show you quickly what we’re going to do, just to point out, one of the major problems is either trying to help the ball up or just being too scared to accelerate through it. And part of the reason that happens is because we’re using too much wrist. We’re using too much wrist through the ball, trying to sort of spank it out or whatever it might be. What happens is when we just use the wrist, we either go too quickly and lift up or we sort of stall the body and just use the hands here because we’re so focused on this, this, and this. Let’s be more positive. Let’s give it a proper attack. Just to point out, I’ve been using Aoda wedges, and these W2 wedges are amazing. But because they are extremely light and extremely soft, it makes it so much easier to accelerate through bunker shots without the fear of it going too far. So, it’s a little secret weapon that makes a subtle but very big difference. You can learn more below. So, we need to do something to reduce the variables. First thing we’re going to do is hold this club up above. Right. I’ve got no wrist hinge at all. I’m just raising the club up with my arms and allowing the elbows to fold just a little bit. That is the wrist movement. Okay, we are not looking for any excessive movement here. Wrist hinge. Some will happen, but if we try to not do it, it’s still going to create enough more than enough to be able to accelerate through and get the right angle of attack. But when we hold the club up like this, we’re just going to allow it to lower down on top of our chest. So, I’m feeling a bit more connected with my upper arms on my top of my chest here. Okay? I’m not stuck by the sides. They’re sort of sitting on top. And my only objective now is to move my core, my rib cage back. No wrists, nothing. My only task is here to here. This is the power. This is the engine. This is all I am thinking about as far as technique. We’ll get back to that setupwise. Now, there are a couple of phases we can do, and I’ll introduce them as we go along. First phase, we’re not even going to bother opening up the club face. Okay, we’re keeping that club face straight. Setupwise, we can just open up a little bit here. Just move that foot back a fraction just to give you a little bit more freedom to be able to open up and release through. Okay. The other alternative is actually to move the trail foot back. This is going to encourage you to accelerate down and through a little bit more. This is where you have to test them out. It’s a very subtle adjustment. We’re not opening up. I’m just pulling that left foot back. I’m not closing up. I’m just moving that trail foot back two, three inches. There’s all you need to do. So, let’s piece those checkpoints together. Here’s my setup. Arms on top, weight forward, just my core backwards and down. So, I’m not using wrists. I’m not separating arms. I’m just thumping it. That is it. With those setup keys, the next thing to think about is distance control. And where do I want to hit the sand? Because we don’t want to be making contact with the sand, the ball. We want to be making contact with the sand. And generally, it’s going to be like about an inch behind the ball here and sort of drawing a line there. But instead of that, I want you to really think about the grains of sand that are sat behind the ball. These grains of sand are crucial because I want to send them as far as I want the ball to go. I’m not thinking about the ball. I’m not even looking at the ball. I’m looking at those grains of sand immediately behind it. Now, remember I said there’s a couple of phases on this one. I am actually going to open up the club face. And what that’s going to do, that’s going to expose more of the bounce on this W2 wedge and really capitalize on its ability to skim and bounce through to get a bit more height and a bit more spin. Think of it as like a refinement with this technique because we do have to accelerate through. So, let’s piece all that together. I’m going to open up the face. I’m going to regrip. Arms are on top. And just a little rehearsal. No wrists at all. Weight forward. Chest on top. And there’s those grains of sand. And I’m going to hit them on the grain. That’s it. Again, this isn’t about perfect perfect spinning shots. This is getting it out every single time. I would like you to get really good at this by not even hitting shots in the bunker. Just draw a line of sand here. And what you’re going to do is work your way along the line of sand. So, we go one more. I’m trying to move these grains of sand onto the grain. Opening up that club face. No wrist. Back and through. It is really that simple. You can just get good at doing that. the ball will come out every single time. Your scores are going to lower. Now, if you want to make sure that you don’t end up in as many bunkers around the greens, this lesson is going to give you the key to a consistent ball striking swing with your irons. Thanks for watching. I’ll see you. Having a decent short game is going to make your whole golf game so much more enjoyable. There’s obviously so many variables when it comes to shots within 50, 60 yards of the green. We cannot possibly cover them all. But what I’ve put together here are the four very best lessons for the four most important shots that you need to hit. These four techniques will be used every single round you play. From bunker to pitching to chip shots, whatever you face, we have to simplify it. And that’s what this series has done. We don’t have the time to practice and do as much as the tour players, especially to learn all the different variables. So that’s why these lessons are what I give to people when I’m doing playing lessons, friends, students, the things that you can remember next time you’re in a bunker. The simple keys for a basic pitch shot so you know you can give yourself a good putting chance. Having a reliable method for a basic chip shot around the greens is going to lower your scores more than you can possibly imagine. Thousands of golfers have improved their short game from these very simple principles that you can apply today to your next round of golf. I’ll see you on the other side.
