We need a video showing the proper technique to hit off of very hard packed sand and super wet sand vs the fluffy, easy sand in this video. Most of us consistently play in not as nice conditions as the greenbrier.
Exactly, why do youtubers continually give us a bunker technique which only pros and privileged private club members can use. I do that at my club and it's bouncing off the base and skulling the ball.
@@brentsmith7013Indeed, we have the same issues at my course and I play the same.
Agree! My club uses crushed granite, which is much denser, and really heavy when it’s damp.
Ok for fairway bunkers, but makes the green side bunkers a little trickier
for me hard sand after rain i will pitch it out using 60 degree wedge you can't get under it. If soft sand then i will used the proper technique like pro do and 54 degree. Most courses in Australian winter are hard sand, green keeper don't work weekends due to labor cost too much.
OR, one bunker was hard packed so you had to play a wide open face
And then on another hole it's a little more fluffed and you now chunk it
Lol, what you just explained, is exactly how I try to make bunker shots, the wrong way! I’ll definitely try this on Wednesday if I’m in the beach!
Thanks Matt. Watching this I realise these faults have crept into my bunker play. Allowing the club head to drop is what I haven't been doing! Great instruction - concise, to the point videos. Really enjoying them.
Love the hat! Bunker tip is just what I needed. Thanks Matt
One of the best bunker tip videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you
Great par saving tips, thanks Matt!!!
Love this - both for the tips and for the course. Was just down at The Greenbrier and played both the Old White and the Meadows. Fabulous resort!
Matt, love your channel! Thanks for the bunker tips. I'm working hard this year to "hit ball first, ground second". When I do this, it is a TOTALLY different (better) feeling and the ball comes off crisp and flies a mile! Some days I do it perfectly, then I seem to lose it the next round. Searching your channel now for that tip, but if not, would love to see you do a video on that!
Thank you! Best bunker video I've come across. I'm horrible out of bunkers, this gives me hope. The don't pull the club but let the club head release even with the hands is a huge realization.
Thank you. Just been down to the practice ground to try these ideas. Magic juice 👍😀. I play links golf in Scotland 🏴 so a lot of pot bunkers. Thank you for this. Love the channel. Jon
Nice insights. This should help me.
Great lesson I can't wait to try this
Love you too Matt - awesome stuff👏
Great descriptions
❤loved the locker too
Great tips! Also play sand shots off the toe . The toe cuts and the heel digs as you know.
I am anti-social media and never post buuuut this guy is the BEST on line teacher that I have EVER seen. Great job! I’m a subscriber.
Great advice 👍
Love these style videos, short and to the point. I would like to see how to create spin on the ball around the greens and from 60 yards and in.
Open the face of a 60° so far that it’s an 89° wedge. Swing as hard as possible. Flop a ball 50 yds straight up and 2 yards forward. Will have so much spin it will roll 3yds backwards. Make sure you aim away from the pin for this trick that golf courses don’t want you to know!!
Good demo!
These tips made a big difference for me, especially the one about ball position. I am no longer dreading the bunker.
Thanks!
Great advice
What will be the different setup and swing for short, mid and long bunker shots?
helpful, thnk you
Good stuff!
If you watched the Open, I'm sure you saw the best players in the world having problems with the bunkers at LACC because they're not accustomed to playing from really soft sand which doesn't allow them to spin the ball & easily control it. If they have the usual firmer sand, it's just too easy for them & they'll actually try to put it into a bunker to avoid the rough around the green. Bunkers aren't meant to help the player but that's exactly what they do. We need bunkers like these for every tournament they play. Fans scream with delight when these guys put it within a foot from the bunker because they can't do it. They play the same firm sand every week that gives them no problem unless they get a buried lie which is rare with firm sand so they have everything in their favor to play the shot with ease. Properly placed bunkers with soft sand & high lips would at least challenge their talent. We all saw what happened to Schaufle on the 1st hole from a fairway bunker. Took him 3 to get out. Now THAT'S a challenging bunker that cost a pro big-time & all of them should be modeled like those. Maybe American players are the best because the game has become too easy & has allowed them to get soft. The game is target golf with shots being all carry from the fairway rather than having to actually play shots by maneuvering the ball around obstacles as the game is in Britain. I'm not saying every course should be a British Open but the game has been diminished by distance with little price to pay for errant shots other than in the Majors & many of those courses are just hit it as far as you can & go find it. You can miss the shot by an entire fairway & still have an open shot to the green because the obstacles are easily avoided by length from the tee & only affect shorter hitters. The power game is sexy to fans who can't hit it that far when they play so they want to see pros do it rather than rely on their skills other than 375 yards from the tee which leaves a wedge for the approach to the green even on some par 5s. The only defense the course has is the rough & if it's longer than the players like it, it's called unfair & that's why more severe bunkering within reach of the long hitters is necessary for the integrity of the game. If the best in the world aren't being challenged, what's the point of the game? To them, under current course layouts, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. Should -10 be winning what's supposed to be the most challenging championship the best players face? If that's what fans & players want, golf has become obsolete & a bore to watch.
Thank you.
Wonderful videos-how about a video on chipping and keeping the ball low vs high
Good stuff
Love it! Thank you! Do you back it up any when the lip is higher?
No. Even more forward
Letting the club head catch up with hands is crucial. Thank you sir!
You do know the Pros hit out of completely different sand conditions in bunkers then us amateurs…makes a huge difference…those courses are kept in immaculate shape
I’ve played out of every kind and average sand is easier to play from.
@@MrShortGame really? The public courses I’ve been in sand traps at are shit and not cared for at all, most traps are rock hard sand…anyway…still love your tips and will subscribe to the channel…any help I can get I’ll take…thank you
I definitely need to practice the release of the club. Played yesterday and had some below average shots out of bunkers. My biggest fear is not getting out of bunkers. It's that I'm going to skull it out of the bunker and either end up 20 yards on the other side of the green or even worse, into the woods. Practice, practice...
Matt. Did you happen to mention 5 or 6 times you are at "THE GREENBRIAR"? I am kidding. I would have a shirt and hat saying, "I played the Green briar". Ha, ha, ha. Once again. The best instruction on the Tube. Hope you had a great Father's Day.
Thank you for this video. My golf course greenside bunker faces are very high (taller than me) and the sand is very fine and deep. I really struggle with getting the ball out using a 60 degree wedge (for loft) - if I do get it out, the ball generally flies straight across the green into the bunker opposite! Please help🙏
Awesome lesson! Thanks!
Thanks Mr. SG. Good chipping technique is NOT good bunker technique! Who knew???
1- ball position left heel; 2- weight on left heel 60%; 3- FEEL the club dropping, THEN flip. On my way to try it today!
I love the way you get right to the point without wasting a lot time on pullover.
I’d like to see some techniques on hitting a fade and draw with the driver, I’m confused on that
turn your body a few degrees left of the flag ( right handers ) swing across the ball toward your left leg * don't hit your shin * slicing slightly across the ball will prevent your club head from duffing in the sand. the ball will loft and spin right - thus you've already turned your body left of the flag. takes a little practice but i'm exceptionally accurate out of the bunker.
🔥🔥🔥
Hi Matt great bids.have a 55 & 52 wedges. Wot degree wedges would you recommend in your bags
48, 52, 56, 60
The sand at my local course is like fine dust. If you drop it into the sand from knee height it will be half buried. How do you play out of that??
You suggest a 54 high bounce , or a 58 8 9 bounce
I would of gotten a “nice out” if i hit that chunker you demonstrated 😅
🙏
Need a video on hard/packed bunker sand. My course aren’t this nice
Great video, I just wish you would show how to hit from down hill and up hill lies! Plus, living in Scottsdale, AZ, needless to say we have a lot of tight lies in the summer with the heat! How about some pitching and chipping videos, over bunkers, etc. I am just skulling it a lot and its between my ears now! Afraid to be aggressive.....
I am a beginner, and always unable to get the ball out of the bunker. But why can't hit the ball directly as the ball should come out as well.
may be you forgot to mention that there is a huge difference when you play a bunker shot from soft sand and hard sand.There are changements to implement if the sand is very hard
My issue as a beginner is, how hard to hit the ball !!! I am either to soft or to hard. Help please
Ha - the shot he hit back in his stance finished tap in distance!
Can we get a review of the new performance golf leadbetter device for the take away ?
So difficult to swing with relaxed arms in the sand. So much fear.
I keep hitting the ball over the green and out of bounds. I cannot seem to hit the sand behind the ball. How can i correct this?
Move the ball more forward in your stance
The biggest difference between pro and am is the quality of the Bunker 😉
Don’t fall for that trick. Sand is sand. Pro sand is May times more challenging
duude! I cant get out of the sand in 5shots XD
You completely follow through when you talk about how a pro does it and when you talk about the amateur you stop just after the ball or pull out of the shot
look at your ball position @ 2:19 clearly you contradict your ball placement near the end of the video
you need tp hang out with better golfers
