When Your Ball is Buried in the Face of a Bunker

Kathy Hart Wood shows how to get the ball out of a buried lie in the face of the bunker. So much easier than you may think. You can do this!

Your Action Plan

Why: Escape a difficult buried bunker shot from an uphill lie by avoiding the common mistake of trying to “help” the ball out.
What: A specific setup and swing thought that uses the terrain to your advantage.
How:

Set Up: Position your body on the hill so your spine is straight, perpendicular to the horizon. Do not tilt back.
Ball Position: Place the ball in the middle of your stance, with a square clubface.
The Swing: Instead of trying to scoop it, swing the club directly into the terrain and let the hill stop it.
