Playing from the Sand
Date Published: Wed, Jan 13th 2010, 10:29If you find yourself in a golf course bunker, dig your feet into the sand so that they are lower than your ball. You will be forced to hit the sand first, not the ball. So, think "Club hits sand -- sand hits ball." Just close your mouth, swing easily, and follow all the way through. Sure, you might get a little gritty, but your ball will be out of the trap and closer to the pin.
