Leave Clubhead in Sand

Many golfers that struggle with bunker shots end up creating too much shaft lean through an over-active lower body. While this may be desirable for a normal full-swing, we have to remember that good bunker play is dominated by the arms. Or in other words, we want the clubhead passing the handle at impact, which then allows us to more easily control the bounce of the club. In your next warm-up, try this simple cue with a few sand shots before heading to the first tee and be sure to note any differences in contact and control.
