Downhill in the Sand
April 17, 2010 by Admin
photo credit: D.Hilgart One of the most difficult shots in the game is the downhill sand shot. The concern of most golfers faced with this shot is to “blade” the ball and have it go flying across the green landing in another bunker. Try the following:
1) Building firm footing is critical. Bend your back leg so that your hips and shoulders are parallel with the ground slope. 2) Twist your feet into the sand but not so much that you are no longer level with the ground. If your back foot is out of the bunker be sure it is planted firmly. 3) Choke down on the grip and use a very “wristy” swing. 4) Swing upright to three-quarter height. 5) Keep your lower body still.
