Bunker Tips: How to Hit Over a Bunker

Hitting over a bunker does not have to be a scary shot! You always have the option to chip around the bunker, or use these tips to carry your ball over the bunker. For a short shot, you should use your sand wedge to get the ball high up in the air and stop near the flag. Put the ball in the front or middle of your stance Shift your weight forward ( toward the target) Take a partial backswing (no need to shift your weight) Hit down behind the ball, the angle on the face should hoist the ball into the air....no helping!! Tip: The backswing and forward swing can be the same on each side, make sure to accelerate!
