Great advice if the bunker has nice sand. Sometimes on public courses there's not much sand in the bunker and if you try it hit it with a wide open clubface you'll bounce into the ball and launch it over the green. Any advice for those situations?
It would be helpful if you referred to front instead of left. I'm not a lefty golfer but still would find it easier to follow directions if front/back used instead of left/right (when referencing ball placement, weight emphasis, etc). Thanks for the detailed instructions & the logic to support them!
I had this shot this morning … big lip, not much green to work with, and … I used my 60 degree wedge (by mistake) 🙄 It WORKED! (I heard you in my head) 😉 Great instruction! 👍🏻
Jonathan is not as popular as some online instruction, but HE SHOULD BE. I feel like he instructs in a more clear and understandable fashion, and he generally explains WHY we should do things a certain way. Just great.
Really nice video! Been following you for about a year and I'm glad you put in this segment b/c bunkers drive me bonkers! But that detailed explanation answered a lot of my questions and I can't wait to get out and practice with it!
For understanding the proper technique it's excellent that you describe how your own feel is during the swing. That's additional information above what we can see in the video. Thank you very much for that!
Thank you for this! After watching your video, I tried my bunker shot today and I was able get my ball out from a bunker at the first attempt. My husband saw me doing this and was super impressed!
Probably the BEST explanation of hitting a greenside bunker shot. Thanks 🙏🏻 But … I have a question: I think most people don’t open the clubface enough because it makes the clubface (leading edge) look very small … like I might hit the ball with the hosel (trying to get it under the ball) Do you have to try to get the TOE of the club under the ball when opening it up that much? Great stuff, JKM 👍🏻 More, more, more (short game) please 🙏🏻
I played golf today and was often in the bunker. I have applied your principles…..and I was not able to get out easily at all……My god this is so difficult in the sand.
great video¡ I would like you to add how technique is applied and modified depending on bunker sand conditions just to cover the whole thing. thank you for all your so deep tranining lessons, you're the best¡
This is wonderful sir, thank you very much for the explanation. One thing I will kindly ask, could you create a supplement or even a short about reading a lie in the bunker? I struggle when playing in tournaments evaluating the lie which can often dictate what kind of shot you play… firms sand, ball sitting down a bit etc. would be massively helpful
when you open the club face and lay it flat to the ground-- where is the club pointing to the target? At it or to the right? That's what I'm always confused about?

Cast the club, swing across the ball, cup your wrists, hit behind the ball Just basically do everything your not supposed to do with regular clubs lol
So true lol

Thanks for this excellent video. Would you cover fairway bunker and how you might play those shots differently?

This was great explanation. Please do video with the sand wedge and pitching wedge. Short game overall. Thank you so much

Great stuff as usual. Besides changing different clubs for various distances, is there anything else in technique to fine tune the distance?
Great lesson. Thanks
These are awesome instructions.. the problem we most amateurs just forgot how to swing after few days of break 😅
Great advice as always . Many thanks for sharing.
Great video. To the point and no time wasting.
Thanks!
Very good thanks
Excellent training video!! Lots of very helpful tips that I'm excited to try! Keep up the great work!!

Amazing. Looking forward to more short game videos!
Great instruction. I seem to hit the hosel when I hit bunker shots. Any idea what could be happening.
great video thanks!
Hello I wanted to ask if you can make a video about finding the swing plane for each golfer? High hands? Low hands or even of deep.
Great vid my bro
Club face position in little sand or hard pan? Is it still best to be parallel?
Given that most of us play in public courses with bunkers with packed sand or very hard sand would the same mechanics apply?
Yes same mechanics but no need to open the face so much if the sand is hard
when you open the club face and lay it flat to the ground-- where is the club pointing to the target? At it or to the right? That's what I'm always confused about?
its ok for it to point to the right slightly
Did you watch the Masters, Jonathan?
I did watch some of it yes!
That ahjusshi wanted to say hi...
WAIT!!! Bunkers have “sand” in them???
I worked for two years to get my club face square. No wonder I can't hit bunker shots. Yesterday I was 0 for 200 from the practice bunker.
Why add the music at 6:50??? Very distracting.
.....I wish you would stop saying "....you guys"
