Surprise!

This is where equipment makes a difference (and some technique, yes).

For the same club; you need to dig a little closer in wet, firm, coarse bunkers. You can blast a little further away in dry, soft, fluffy bunkers.

However, equipment is the key here. You may be shortly investing in a second set of wedges!

Your current wedges may have worked well in the bunkers that you practiced in - they may have been lower bounce and much more inclined to dig through the sand. Since the sand was hard, it bounced the club back up and let you hit the shot properly.

In the soft powdery sand, the same wedge will just continue to dig without ever coming up - robbing your shot of the same power. SO you either need to shallow out the swing (dangerous) or open the face even more, to expose more bounce.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
