Okay, let's get into the backswing when you're in a bunker Greenside bunker, it's real important that you make a Long enough backswing to actually get the ball out of the sand. One of the biggest mistakes is swinging too short, and I'm going to tell you right away, that just doesn't work. I know it seems like it's if you go any longer than that the ball is going to go too far. As long as we keep our swing, a nice slow motion, you actually see the ball pop up and land softly onto the green. So when you're doing this, take a look and see where you're swinging the club in your practice swings. And what you'll find out is you probably been going too short.

So make an effort to get your hands to about chest high with the handle or your hands. You can also go as high as shoulder height, depending on how big you want to take this or how high you want to go. So this will definitely make the ball go a lot higher. Where chest I will bring it out to medium pipe. Again, this is kind of what it looked like. Well, since the Dropped right into the dirt as you can see the dirt instantly sprayed up into the air.

Whereas if I go too short, the sand comes out very low and that's exactly what the ball does. So the easiest way to recap this is swing the chest high or swing the shoulder height. And that should get the ball nice and high up out of the bunker. This shot we're gonna work on trouble lies. On this particular shot, we're going to talk about how to cut through the dirt. Now this ball sitting pretty good so that's just a normal club face.

You don't need to open it you can be square, but let's say the ball sitting down a little bit. So now we need the club to be able to dig through the dirt And we know the square face will dig. But another way that makes it dig even more is setting the club close. So in this case you would regrip the club so it stays in his position. So when it does enter the dirt, it's come in with the toe first. What that does, it digs even deeper underneath the ball and allows your dedicated up at the bunker.

So what I'll do is I'll take a little practice swing so you can see what that looks like. Closed. You can see how deep that is. Look how far down that went. So it's going to cover that back up, so you can see how it gets the ball out. So we'll get that press down.

That's not too bad to call that a fairy lie. That just jumps it right out. So when you close it clubface is able to plow through the dirt. And that's what since the ball up into the air. If you get a situation where it's completely covered, you can't even see it. It's the same scenario just close the club face comes right out.

This is a great way to dig it. Keeping the club closed. Thanks to the shot. Now standing with your feet you can stay in square just like we've talked about before. You can see my feet I stand a little bit straight on. If I want to dig deeper, I just close off this stance.

And in this situation you wouldn't open so you don't want your feet aiming to the left. So square on close club face. Make sure you swing to about chest high in your backswing and it should do All right now
