Bunker Golf Shots in Footprints: Part 1

Video Transcript

"On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Ray Boone and I run the Ray Boone Golf Academy at the beautiful Miami Beach Golf Club. Today I'd like to present to you the basics of short game. Here we are with the common problem that we find, somebody has not raked the bunker here. We are in somebody's footprint, the rules of golf does not allow us to move that ball out of that position. We're in a nice big hill print here, so what we're going to have to do is play the shot. The changes that we're going to make in the setup are that we're going to put the ball back in the stance. We're going to move the ball on the right foot, I'm going to aim my body further left than normal and what I'm going to do is setup. If I had a lot of green to work with, I would actually close the face of my club. If I needed to stop quicker, I'm going to open the face."
