Bunker Line Drill
Bunker Line Drill
The standard go-to for training your sand contact
Simply draw a line in the sand (about 4 feet long) and then set up at one end of it so that the line is about 2 inches behind your normal ball position. Take a swing as if the ball was there, and simply notice where the club enters the sand, using the line as a reference point. After the swing, step forward a few inches so that you are set up to a fresh piece of the line, and repeat. This is a great way to monitor the consistency of your club path and the location of the low point in your swing. If you have trouble with this drill, look at your weight distribution, the amount of movement of your sternum, and your release.
