About

Stop guessing in the bunkers. Soft sand and hard sand are two completely different shots — here’s how to play both.

SOFT SAND — use the bounce
• Face wide open — let the bounce slide under the ball, not dig
• Athletic stance, handle low
• Ball more forward in your stance
• Aggressive wrist hinge
• Hit 3 inches behind the ball — with speed

HARD SAND — don’t use the bounce
• Ball back in your stance
• Shaft lean at setup
• Come down steep — an aggressive angle of attack is your friend
• Face SQUARE to the target — do NOT open it or you’ll blade it over the green
• Hit 1 inch behind the ball...
