Introduction by Bobby Eldridge
In this section Bobby Eldridge demonstrates the right set-up for hitting a bunker shot by positioning the ball across the left foot and putting 70% of your weight on the left leg and turning through as your arms move up and down for the swing. Putting a little bit of sand between the club face and the golf ball is also necessary when hitting bunker shots.
In this section, Bobby Eldridge demonstrates how to hit a ball buried deep within the sand by positioning the ball in the middle of your stance and not opening the club face as you swing down on the ball.
