Re: Spinning it out of a bunker

Becuase soft sand causes your feet to sink lower, you have to choak up more on the club.

You want to hit the ball a lot closer to the ball it's self then the normal "dollar bill" rule, so you now move the ball slightly back in your stance.

Steepness of attack is now bad causing the club to just keep digging in. Sweep across with a shallow angle by not using your hands as much. It is a little more of an arm swing now.

You are at risk now of hitting it thin becuase 1) you choaked up, 2) hitting it closer to the ball, 3) sweeping it. Welcome to getting it just right to get the results you want...this is why soft sand is a bear. But done right will make her dance like you knew what you were going.

Practice on a swatch of paper. If you can hit the ball and not tear the paper, you have it.
