Fairway Bunkers

photo credit: SouthAsiaGolf Fairway bunkers are almost always placed near the landing area of most drives, therefore, you must be ready to execute a fairway sand shot. There are two very important factors to be considered when hitting from a fairway bunker: 1) club selection. 2) swing.
When confronting a plugged ball, use your sand wedge and make an explosion shot in order to get back out on to the fairway. When the ball is sitting up, use a long iron or even a fairway wood. The primary consideration, of any fairway bunker shot, is to get over the lip of the trap. Make sure the club you select will get you over the lip.
Hit the ball first and keep your lower body relatively ”quiet.” Swing mostly with your arms.
