How do you get out of bunkers?

June 13, 2010 - PRLog -- How do you get out of bunkers?

Dozens of books have been written and millions of words spoken on bunker play but basically, escape from the deeper ones, beside a green, is down to technique(golf wholesale).

Use the club design for the purpose – the sand wedge – which has a bulbous flange on the bottom (the sole) and was originally designed by Gene Sarazen in the 1930s to help lift the ball out on a cushion of sand(TaylorMade Burner=http://www.mygolfwholesale.com/  ).

But remember bunkers are a hazard and you are not entitled to ground your club (touch the surface) before you play your shot and until the ball has finally emerged from the hazard(TaylorMade Rescue TP Hybrids ).

First create a solid foundation by shuffling your feet into the sand, the line of the toes aiming slightly left of your intended target (the flag stick). Grip down the handle a little and lay the face of the club so the leading edge aims at the target, then re-grip(TaylorMade Rescue Hybrids ).

The secret is not to scoop the ball out but to slap the sand in a controlled but aggressive out-to-in swing, with the sole of the open-faced club, ensuring you follow through. If you strike the sand two inches behind the ball, it will tend to pop out almost automatically.

If the ball is partly buried in the sand(TaylorMade R9 TP Irons=http://www.mygolfwholesale.com/ ), use your sharper edged pitching wedge, close (yes ‘hood’) the face and chop down hard just behind the ball. Again it should pop out but with little spin and will tend to roll further. So allow for this.

What can I move in a bunker

Small stones often find their way into bunkers which can damage your equipment as well as possibly injure you or someone standing nearby. Look out for Local Rules on the back of the scorecard to see if you can remove them from around the ball(TaylorMade R9 Irons).

Usually leaves, sticks, banana skins, apple cores etc., are not regarded as items which can be removed though you can take relief from holes made by burrowing animals (not their footprints) as long as the ball remains in the hazard.
