- In this weeks video golf tip, Australian PGA Golf Professional,Brian Fitzgerald "The Golf Doctor" shows you the biggest mistake people make in playing long greenside bunker shots. I have heard so many different ways of playing this shot in my 51 years of playing golf. Most of them are complicated or difficult to do. This method is such an easy method for golfers of any standard to use. Give it a go. I know it will work well.

My name is Brian Fitzgerald - I'm an Australian full time golf coach living in Melbourne and coaching at two venues. The Morack Public GC in Vermont South and the Lang Lang GC in beautiful South Gippsland (An hour and a quarter from Melbourne) where there are lot's of Kangaroos.
FAQ:
How long have you been a golf coach? I qualified as a full member of the Australian PGA back in 1985. Wow I don't feel that old.
Why do you make videos for UA-cam? That is a great question and one I get asked a lot. I love helping people play better golf and people tell me I have a very unique coaching style that is very simple to understand. We really should do things simpler. I just make them to help people and if people like my videos they can either come for a golf lesson in person or if that is not possible you could join my membership program and I can then view your golf swing or any part of your game and really help improve what you do.
Do you always change some ones golf swing? To be perfectly honest I try not to. If I do try to change some ones golf swing I have to have a pretty good reason for doing so and the client has to be fully engaged and committed to both regular coaching and practice in order to make that change. Most people say they will do both with good intentions but most fall away pretty quickly.
So my preference is to change things that will improve their score easily. There are so many different ways to do this.
What do you film with? - I have a few few different cameras I use. An old GoPro Hero 4, an iPhone 6 and iPhone X, A Sony ZV1 and an old Panasonic Handy cam (I'm using that less and less now). I record my sound on an old iPhone 4.
What do you edit with? - About a year ago I switched to Adobe Premiere - prior to that it was Pinnacle Studio
Do you make money off UA-cam? - Yes.It took me over 100 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense and then another 50 videos to make my next $100. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.
I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - Here's my ko-fi where you can buy me a coffee, beer or a burger should you wish (kind of like giving me a tip via : ko-fi.com/thegolfdoctor

Will definitely have to give it a go as I have always used a sand wedge or 60 deg wedge.It Is just the mindset and comfort level. Will let you know the progress as soon as lock down is lifted. keep up the great work. Cameron Smith played a blinder last night and congrats to all Aussie golf fraternity.
I am glad you enjoyed it +pangayee you might also enjoy my next video on chipping. I think it is my best one yet.
Cameron played great.
Thanks for watching.

Couldn't agree more Brian
Great minds think alike Anne.
I love the sand at Lang Lang. It makes me feel like I am on the sand belt.
very informative Brian. thank you
I am glad you found it helpful Jesse. The shorter controlled swing really makes this shot so easy.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Awesome lesson Thank you!!!
Thank you.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching.

Thanks Brian. Another great video. What about fairway bunkers? Can you show us how to play them? Keep up the great tips. Cheers, Steve
My pleasure Steve.
I am glad you enjoy them.
I have made a video on fairway bunkers before.
You can find it at
ua-cam.com/video/er3xHO0iw4o/v-deo.html
The benefit of having made over 350 videos is there is every chance it is already in the back catalogue.
I have no plans to stop making videos any time soon Steve.
@@fitzygolfpro thanks mate. Just watched it. It’s exactly what I was after. I really like the fact you don’t take 20 minutes to explain something. Glad to see you back out on the course again too. All the best, Steve
@@230662steve I appreciate the comments.
Glad to be of help.
Brian
Thanks Brian, sounds like a good plan, I have been practicing my bunker shots and struggle with the longer ones, probably because I try to hit them harder and hence worse contact as you say. Though every now and then I manage to hit the short ones long, by not taking enough sand, that's golf....
Swing it easy and shorter and contact improves.
You don't even need to think about how much sand you take.
Well done on keeping up the practice habbit.
Brian
Thanks for this Brian. Do you always aim to strike the sand a set distance from the ball regardless of the club you are using? If so is it about an inch or so? This bunker showed fairly compacted sand so I suppose you may have a slightly different strategy for wettish sand
Many thanks
Best wishes
David
Hi David I am glad you enjoyed it. I never think about how far behind the ball I try to strike. I just think behind the ball. If your swing is shallow this is an easy way to play.
If your downswing is on the steep side you have to be more precise with your entry point.
The sand was a little wet that day and if you look carefully it was lightly raining at the time. It was more noticeable from the camera looking down the line.
There is very little difference in technique between wet, dry, fluffy or hard sand.
Shallow is the way to go. Just learn to control the clubface to produce more or less bounce.
I hope that helps.
Brian
@@fitzygolfpro Thanks very much for such a detailed answer Brian
All the best
Liked that one Brian.
I might have been tempted to use the 50 on the guy who stood virtually in front of you!
Hope that you are well.
Cheers.
I had already coached him earlier in the day and it was me that shouldn't have been there. I waited forever for the 2 guys in the cart to finish the hole. They were quite slow and as it turned out I could have filmed the whole thing before they got to the green anyway.
I handled the pressure well.
A short and sweet video this time.
We have zero cases in Victoria.
All good here. Stay safe David.
Brian
@@fitzygolfpro for a minute I thought that you had coached him in first aid !
Two grandsons not the twins are at home as their school pods have had an individual case within it.
My twin grandsons are 16 tomorrow how has that happened?
We are still locked down and now Boris is self isolating again but because of a committee member testing positive.
He ho.
