BUNKER TIPS

Maintaining your swing through the winter season requires time and commitment, which may be a tough proposition for many of us. Rather than waiting for the weather to change for the better, and then spending weeks trying to get your form back, you should develop and follow a training program for the off-season.  Ideally, the strength and flexibility program should be developed with the assistance of a certified fitness instructor. However, if you are doing this on your own, here are some guidelines to follow:

  1. Get good footing: By grinding your feet firmly into the sand, you’ll get a solid, secure base for optimum balance.
  2. Grip down a few centimeters on the club: Do this to compensate for the fact that you’ve ground your feet into the bunker, thus bringing your hands closer to the ball. If you don’t shorten your grip, you’ll tend to dig the club in too deeply.
  3. Open your stance: Set up with your feet, knees, hips and shoulders pointing well left of your target. This will facilitate the steeply upward takeaway and downward impact that are vital for 99 per cent of greenside bunker shots.
  4. Don’t keep your eye on the ball: Instead, focus on a point about two centimeters or so behind the ball. That is where you want to make impact.
