How does anyone put thumbs down on this video?! I bought this DVD 6 years ago, and it has helped my short game become one of the best at my home course. He makes it so simple to understand and learn. Best thing I've EVER done for my game!!
For real; not many teach more concisely. I’ve always had a good short game but with a few tweaks from Phil, it’s gotten a stroke or two better per round the last few years. Thank, Phil
Phil, you have the best instruction videos on UA-cam. Most of the "experts" ramble on and on with filler comments but you are short and sweet and easy to follow. Thank you.
You only have a hand full of people (men and women) who truly are born to play this game the way Phil does! There are many good players, but... only a few "greats"! We have been blessed to live to see them!
@@Ligai4 Thank you, but... I've been working on my game almost 40 years! I should have gone to medical school...it would have been much easier than golf! Lol!
First time using this today adter watching 2 nights ago (without practice) and I holed out for birdie on the first hole. Amazing video and it just feels right. Was only in 2 bunkers for the day and tje first was a hole out and the other pulled up 4ft from the hole. Thanks Phil!
Immense talent!!!! Best videos, by far the best instructions! I’ve found practicing these good bunker techniques have helped my all round golf swing. Thank you 😊
Phil Mikelson knows how to make a good useful golf teaching video. He eliminates all of the extraneous and unnecessary talk that is confusing that you can't remember anyhow, and gets right to what you need to know to do a particular technique. Most teaching videos turn out to be all about a particular teacher getting to endlessly expound on a bunch of prereferral chatter that makes most viewers lose concentration and move on to another video. Mickelson doesn't do that. Bravo! I want more.
I was always taught the most crucial part of golf was played from 120 yards and in. Everything from Driver to 4 Iron I learned from Jack. Everything 5 Iron to full PW I learned from Tiger. But everything 120 yards and in I learned from Phil, and it has always been the strongest and most reliable part of my game.
Last year I went crazy with short game. I would take 3 balls and try and up and down 1 of them from a spot on the apron. Then from the rough. Then lastly from the bunker. I called it crazy eights because it should be 8 strokes. I would try and do all of this and keep pace on course. It’s a lock.
I practice 2 hours every other day,with about 30 minutes practicing bunker shots,I now do not fear about play out of bunkers..practice is key to better golf
Confidence is key. If you can step up to a bunker shot knowing that you have practiced, a whole bunch of stuff that usually clouds your focus is removed from your mind.
This is gold but I don't agree with the logic about bunker practice improving driving. This a correlation vs causation thing. It's just as likely that long drivers are good in bunkers because they are more likely to end up in them. Long drives make good bunker play necessary, not good bunker play makes for longer drives.
The hinge and hold and 25%/75% (putting) are burned into my brain from these videos. Invaluable tips.

No shit. Ameture gods in their own minds
there's always about 78 deuchebags for every 2.2 thousand people
Totally agree. Phil is such a good teacher!
Phil is an excellent teacher.
One if the all time greats

Never realized how fantastic of a teacher he is. Awesome stuff.
Watch the full video improved my golf massively
This guy hits amazing shots out of bunkers. The ball checks up so well.
Phil, you have the best instruction videos on UA-cam. Most of the "experts" ramble on and on with filler comments but you are short and sweet and easy to follow.
Thank you.
Why do I bother watching anyone else explain it. Dude makes it simple and to the point
From one Lefty to another Lefty... Well done Phil.. awesome! Thank you!

You are totally correct? Are you one of them?
@@Ligai4 I'm not a great... but I'm striving to be the very best I can be... consistently. I'm off +3, the lowest..+5.
William Bell hats off to you sir, humble and good

Great
You're incredible!
Goodness Phil is a born presenter.
a born poser

One of the great players and one of the great teachers
The slo mo sfx are taking this video to another level

Phil, you are so highly technical. No wonder you are still able to win even up to now
Can't believe it took me over a decade to find these lessons, they are so helpful
narI all u need to do now is get a bucket of sand and start practising ... good luck
overbirdie thx, have a whole beach to use haha
I love this guy, similar to my first ever golf teacher, just wants to help people, doesn't need the money, he's already rich.
He is The modern day Arnold Palmer, a real gentleman.
Bunker play improved my driving because I practice driving to avoid the bunkers more.

Mickelson has a teaching ability that is simple and easy to learn... If you're a Lefty!
Just mirror it if you are right. I’ve been mirroring righties and it’s not that hard.
Even after years I still come back to this video to reference how to play out of the bunkers
what a fantastic lesson
Thank you Phil. This is the best video for me. I am saving it for my reminder.
Phil Mickelson is the best Trainer of all time

@ D S You must be single because my wife would lose her shit if I disappeared for 2 hours every other day
Thank You Phil!
Most valuable golf lesson on the internet.
You are correct buddy
I love this guy, Phil is a good guy for showing us this.

Love the jump right to it teaching
This guy should consider a career in golf.
I too can see good things in golf for him
Brilliant Man...even at his level he wants us to learn..
If there was no Tiger Woods ....Phil would have been Tiger Woods .
Lol, very true
very good thanks to phil.....
Phil communicates. Others condescende.
He's just too good
Best Ever
Sensational. Gives the reason and explains the action so well.
He is good, isn’t he? Player & teacher, likes to hear his voice
Thanks Phil!
1:18 wow so effortless
I want to invite this guy to Christmas dinner
He’s being the ball
Beast.
So ball opposite left heel, where would one need to focus. Centre of stance? How many inches behind ball?
As Steve Williams said to Tiger, “feel it”.
the greatest short game player to ever play on tour.
gold!
The downhill buried lie. I don't know how you get one of them.
Could be an ugly slice or hook that goes straight on the side of soft sand? Had 1 or 2 of those and they were painful.
@@Ligai4 Maybe you hit a rake!
Master
His greenkeeper would be pissed
To bad Sand in most course is never kept fluffed.We usually have play a chip like on Grass.Rangers should carry Steel rakes.
Mike Kelly cry baby
@@paulledet6630 Cry baby why?? I played last week and the sand was like cement
Rob D that’s golf, get over it
@@paulledet6630 Get over what you moron?? You probably putt out of the bunker with a skirt on
Legend
Great
I love Phil Mickelson lmaooo
To bad it is filmed with a patato. Good video !
And all this free 😁
Genius
What about when the bunker sand is hard as a rock?
Use your putter....lol
Driver and choke up
Hit an inch or two behind ball with an out to in swing hinge and hold
What about if the "bunker sand" IS a rock?
Square you sandwedge/56 and hit an inch or two behind the ball.
It’s very much like hitting a flop shot.
1:58 wtf is that shit
You and 1000s more
1:58 is literally post process faked video 😂
fuck me, is this guy good or is he good?
Hinge and hold ALL shots. why not?
it would never work with a driver lol. it may be more accurate tho
It doesn’t matter where you hit… Yeah right. This guy may be the master of short game, but he’s full of it here. I call it BS.
Thanks Phil!
