Having Sand Trouble? Make Your Own Bunker Board

Stephanie Molloy from the Wee Burn Country Club demonstrates how to practice great sand technique using your own bunker board.
Sand Trouble - Build a Bunker Board - Womens Golf

The purpose of a bunker board is to help you correctly use the bounce of your golf club when you are in the sand. The correct shot is indicated by the paint showing on the trailing edge of your clubhead rather than the leading edge.

Once the bunker board is in place, set up like a clock in the bunker. Your target is 12 o’clock, your clubface at 2 o’clock, and your feet at 10 o’clock creating an open stance with your feet and your club face.

From here, make your swing more of a “U” shaped swing compared to a “V” shape, and you’re away.

Enjoy!
Stephanie

Welcome to Women's Golf Established 2014

Why Women's Golf is different.

We're not part of some big media company. My husband Richard and I started Women's Golf from our living room because I couldn't find golf lessons that were truly designed for women golfers. I wanted to create the kind of place I wished had existed, a welcoming and ad-free home where golfers like us could learn from the world's best instructors.

We bought the domain name at an auction and I started contacting the world's best teachers. My job is to look after all our members, our instructors and the lessons we share, while Richard takes care of the technology behind the scenes that keeps Women's Golf running.
