In the greenside bunker our goal is to hit the sand first, not the
ball. The sand will carry the ball out of the bunker. For the green side bunker:
 | · Do not touch the sand with the club before the stroke, two stroke penalty. |
| · Aim your feet to the left of your target. |
| · Ball position; good lie, left foot. Bad lie, right
foot. |
| · Do not dig your feet in too deep, just enough to assume a stable stance. |
| · Choke down on the club relative to the depth of your stance. |
| · Open the clubface and then take your grip. |
| · Take a pretty full swing. |
| · Strike the sand about an inch behind the ball. |
| · Finish the swing completely, do not stop the club in the sand. |
A fairway bunker shot is simply a full swing with these exceptions:
| · Don't dig your feet in too much. |
| · Place the ball in the center of your stance. |
| · Aim left, the ball will fly a little to the right. |
| · Choke down on the club about an inch. |
| · The swing is mostly with the shoulders, don't move the legs a lot. |
| · Strike the ball first, let's say that again, strike the ball first! |
