Essentially to get over mental barriers around hitting the sand first in a bunker
This is the post sand shot f*ck up anger release drill.
A bunker tip I’ve heard, and helps me, is slap the sand with the back of your club. This is probably the extreme example of that.
Is that KJ Choi running this?
I don’t think so…just looks like KJ Choi is starting a golf colt to me
The same reason militaries shoot at human shaped targets. Gets you used to the feeling.
Trying to emulate tiger but instead of pounding bitches it got lost in an accent and they are instead pounding beaches
Love after they are done they are wiping the sand off themselves
this is a feel for what your arms do in the swing without body rotation, for people that are swipey
Seems like a “wax on, wax off” situation.
The description from the video if it helps
“ **kjchoifoundation** Choi Kyungju Foundation signature anchor training. If you pick up the bunker, your swing will get more power and impact will improve. Also makes you feel when to strengthen and rest and definitely know how to use the bounce.
The downside to this practice is that it doesn’t look good..”
This is my wedge.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My wedge is my best friend.
It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my golf.
Practicing getting more steep
“Slap the sand! Slap the sand! Slap the Sand!”
It’s called “The Sergio”, you do it because nothing golf-related is ever your fault.
Slamming the bounce into the sand
Matsuyama teaches this drill – to open the club face and aggressively hit the back bounce part of the club. Then turn it into a swing to send the sand and the ball goes with the sand.
Best tip for bunker play I know of (for 90% of players) is forget the ball is there. You’re not trying to hit it anyway.
You can’t respect the bunker until you get a chance to humiliate the bunker back for all the times it’s humiliated you.
So you beat up the bunker to become equals with it.
It does work. That’s the feels you want when you hit a sand shot. That kind of thump.
The best advice I ever got for green side bunker shots is to grip the club with an open face, roughly 45° compared to your normal address of the ball. Obviously adjust that depending on the situation, but that’s your baseline. Then do your standard bunker set up, but focus on keep the face point back at you through the entire swing. It will feel insane at first, but it works.
Maintenance has not raked the bunkers in forever, so the golfers decided to soften the sand.
Golfers version of alpha male bootcamp kind of drill.
It’s a sacrifice
Is that kj Choi
Coach is just getting some free landscaping done.
If KJ Choi tells me to beat the shit out of a bunker, who am I to argue?
No.
Is this one of those alpha male things for $10000?
I believe this is actually a mine sweeping exercise.
They are trying to get a new cart path built. Its cheaper to have players break ground first
It’s to send a message to other bunkers around the world, not to mess with you.

Its the follow through after you blade your bunker shot into the woods
