How to Hit A Fairway Bunker Shot

Don't you hate those dreaded fairway bunkers? I mean you probably hit a great feeling drive and it rolls too far and winds up in the bunker. Well no need to worry because hitting out of a fairway bunker is actually pretty easy.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Golf clubs
• Fairway bunker

1. The first thing your going to do is select 1 or 2 clubs more than you would hit for that yardage depending on your lie.

2. Next you're going to address the ball with a slightly open stance. You only want to dig your feet in about half an inch. If you dig any further you're going to chunk your shot.

3. Open your club face a little bit, this will help you get some loft on the ball.

4. Now swing away like you normally would. But keep in mind if you're a big divot taker, you want to pick the ball off the sand.

5. Watch your ball as it goes straight for the hole!

Tips & Warnings

• Remember to rake the sand after you're done.
• I'll repeat this again, DO NOT dig your feet into the bunker. You will chunk your shot.
