      Any tips on stopping me shifting my weight to the right in the takeway rick keeps making me shank my longer irons😭

    • @adamy6485
      @adamy6485 3 роки тому +2

      I generally pick the ball up and throw it into the green lol 😂 I’m new to golf and this is a shot I am gonna need to work on. Luckily I am not currently keeping score because I enjoy the game more and don’t get easily frustrated with each stroke. Getting a lot of good tips from your videos is helping a lot as well. Keep them coming.

    Rick, you won’t believe what happened today. I am a beginner golfer and have only been playing about 6 months. My game is coming along thanks to your videos. One area I have really been struggling with is sand. It has literally been killing my game. I fear the sand because I am losing 3-4 strokes in every bunker
    I watched this video a few times last night. I went out this morning to play the back nine and I hit two shots during the round that landed in the sand. I was careful to follow the instructions you provided. I adjusted my grip to open the club face, I adjusted my stance slightly left, I set my feet wide and wiggled my feet in, I got low in my stance and I swung down and with a full follow through. Both shots cleared the sand, cleared the gap and landed within 10’ of the hole. Unbelievable! I was playing with much better golfers and they were struggling in the sand. They asked me where I learned to hit out of the sand. I gave you full credit. Thank you!!

    @christillman9948 6 років тому +6

    I love this style of video, quick and to the point. I’ll be working on this tomorrow at the local practice facility. I often take 2-3 strokes in a bunker, and have zero confidence out of the sand around the green.

    @garybrumley3519 6 років тому

    Great info in the video. For greenside bunker shots, i use my 58 degree wedge. I carry Mizuno wedges in 50, 54, and 58 degree lofts. My PW is a part of my Hogan Edge set and is 46 degrees.

  • @2000clift
    @2000clift 6 років тому

    I watched this video 3 weeks ago. Not a bad player, single-digit handicap but still, struggle with Bunker play, especially greenside. The Wider stance and focusing at the spot behind the ball where you want the club to enter the sand really helps especially with confidence and keeping the club moving. I've had some success in the bunker after watching this video thanks Rick.

    Great tutorial it will help me for sure! I would love to see a video of how to hit your full shot wedges. This is what i often struggle with when I am somewhere around 100 yards to the pin and I feel scared of me missing the green from the fareway where it should be an easy shot.

      Yes, I agree although my wife likes it when I'm out of her hair for the day so I really don't have that problem, guess that's why my handicap is a 10...LOL!

    I recently won the Vokey SM7 wedge and I went with the 60 degree wedge. That is now my go to wedge around the green side bunkers. I have only left one in the bunker since I got the wedge but I know that using these tips, I should feel more confident about getting it out and closer to the hole

    I have been having difficulty getting out of bunkers recently, so I watched this video several times. Well, using Rick’s three tips, today I went into four bunkers, and I got out of every one of them on the first try! The only problem was that I got out of one bunker but into another! Oh well, another fun day at the golf course!

    @HowiesGirls1 6 років тому

    Great video Mr Shields! Very easy to understand and cluttered at all.
    One add’l add on that made as much or more difference to taking the terror out of my sand shots is to keep my weight left at address, back swing and thru the shot.
    Thanks for the great tip and explanation!

    @yadthink 6 років тому

    Very helpful tips, Rick! As you said, it's critical to maintain the face angle and not try to square the face at impact. The challenge at my course is the depth of the sand is very inconsistent, so the technique that works one time might not work the next time.

    Not saying that I will be looking forward to going into a bunker, but hopefully I can not only get out in one, but stop the ball close to the pin. Another great video to put into practise out on the course.

I really feel like these tips, just like all the other ones I have applied, will help improve my game and earn back some of my confidence that ill hit the shot. Thanks as always Rick!
