Pitching Over a Bunker
Lesson chapters

In this section, Denis Pugh makes an introduction about pitching over a bunker. When you are in a situation where you are hitting the ball that is positioned with the bunker in both of its sides and with sand in front of it and the hole near the sand do not lose your nerve and treat it like all the shots that you have made earlier. Difficult bunker situations are a test of you mind and you simple have to let your mind calm down and trust in your technique.
In this section, Denis Pugh will talk about the difference between a professional golf player and an amateur golf player in pitching over a bunker. The professional will treat the shot as a routine shot and doing a standard pitch shot. On the other hand, an amateur will try to flick the wrist on the swing to try to lob the ball which guarantees a killer shot that is either fat or thin.
About this golf lesson
In this tutorial, Denis Pugh will teach you how to pitch over a bunker especially if you are stuck in a difficult situation where the position of the ball is between two bunkers and in ahead is another bunker that is close to the hole. There are two ways to approach this situation; you can either treat it like a standard pitch shot like professionals do or you can let your mind wander off and panic and flick your wrist in the golf swing to try to loft the ball.
