Reading Sand
A lot of bunkers shots are misplayed because the player fails to read the lie correctly. Your goal is to send sand onto the green with the ball, so feel how much effort it will take to send the sand out of the bunker. When there is little sand or a tight lie, you don’t need much effort. When there is more sand and its fluffy and heavy you need more effort. Hard sand equals soft swing. Soft Sand equals hard swing.

Golf Tip of the Week
Have a Safety Shot
Most good players a go-to drive that they can pull out on holes where a missed fairway can spell disaster. You should have a shot like this in your bag, too, even if it means falling in love with your favorite fairway wood, or better yet, learning to hit a controlled fade with your driver. Work hard on your go-to shot on the range during practice sessions. When you get to the course and are facing a tough driving hole, you will be glad you have the go-to shot.

Golf Tip of the Week
The Low Running Chip
The low-running chip is one of the most underused shots. Why? Because it takes practice to learn the touch. Golfers focus on how the ball will roll on the green, but distance control comes more from judging bounces before the green. Set your golf bag up in the fairway, drop five balls at various distances and practice chipping to your bag. Then you will get a feel of bouncing a ball on fairway grass- the same grass you will find in front of the putting green.
