Putting green

Bunker

On golf courses, bunkers near the green are often a nightmare for golfers. An unsuccessful shot can not only result in a loss of runs, but also add to the psychological stress of the game. However, with the right technique and approach, golfers can face this challenge with greater confidence.

Here are 10 tips to help golfers get over bunkers on the course and hit the right shot:

1. Choose the right clubs: Choose clubs with high launch points and high bounce angles, such as wedges (60 degrees), sand wedges (56 degrees) and relay wedges (50-52 degrees).
2. Use the bounce of the club: Correctly use the bounce angle of the club to prevent the club head from digging into the ground, thereby helping the ball pass obstacles smoothly.
3. Correct hitting posture: Make sure that when hitting the ball, the club is pointed towards the center of the body and avoid excessive tilt.
4. Master the shaft angle when hitting the ball: Keep the shaft upright or slightly tilted back when hitting the ball, and use the landing point and bounce angle of the club face.
5. Decide if you need to open the club face: Based on your individual club speed and actual needs, decide if you need to open the club face to increase lift.
6. Proper contact with the ground: When hitting the ball, the club should make proper contact with the ground to generate the necessary force to help the ball pass the obstacle.
7. Control distance through swing size: Adjust the size of the swing to control the flight distance and landing accuracy of the ball.
8. Adjust the swing through preparation actions: Control the size of the swing by adjusting the grip height and stance width to achieve precise ball control.
9. Establish a fixed pre-hitting program: Through a fixed pre-hitting program, integrate various skills to prepare for successful hitting.
10. Rather the ball is too long than too short: First make sure the ball can go over the bunker. In practice, you should focus on controlling the ball to be too long rather than too short.

Through the application of the above techniques, golfers can improve their success rate in clearing obstacles even when facing tricky bunker challenges, thereby achieving better results in the game.
