Greenside bunkers don’t have to be intimidating. Shawna Elliott shows how to turn the sand into your friend. The secret lies in a stable, wide base and the ability to consistently “splash” the sand behind the ball. Learn the simple drill involving a physical line in the sand that will help you find the right entry point and eliminate the lateral motion that causes most bunker frustrations.
Are you getting “stuck” on your downswing? The problem likely starts right at the beginning of your setup. Christina Ricci shows why your eye line dictates your chest position and how a synchronized start allows your arm structure to stay perfectly in front of your torso.
When you’re facing a delicate downhill chip or fluffy fringe, a standard bump and run might be too aggressive. Maria Palozola introduces the “Putt-Chip,” a combination of a putting stroke and a lofted club that provides maximum control and a soft, dead landing.
Are you leaving your ball in the bunker or “thinning” it across the green? Meredith Kirk shares her favorite “Bunker Buster” drill using a simple sand mound to teach you the most important skill in the sand: blasting through the impact zone to create a consistent spray.
Short putts are often more about mental discipline and alignment than a complex stroke. Sue Shapcott shares four essential tips—from ball marking to “Quiet Eye” focus—to help you stop lipping out and start hearing the ball drop into the hole with confidence.
Stop “thinning” your fairway woods. If you’ve been taught to play the ball super far forward in your stance, you might be setting yourself up for a top. Learn Cathy Kim’s preferred ball position to ensure a clean, sweeping strike every time you’re on the fairway.
Are you inadvertently promoting a downward strike with your driver? Learn why your eye line and chest position relative to the clubhead are the “secret” to consistent launch. Christina Ricci breaks down the ideal 55/45 weight split and ball placement to help you stop fighting your swing and start trusting your setup.
Rhythm and speed are the keys to hitting the ball farther. Most top players don’t have a static, slow backswing; they use momentum. Kellie Stenzel demonstrates a unique practice drill that uses a forward-start motion to trigger a fluid, high-speed backswing that leads to consistent, powerful strikes.
Struggling with a tight backswing or a “chicken wing” finish? You don’t need a golf course to fix your mechanics. Karen Palacios Jansen shares a complete wall-based routine designed to increase your rotation, improve your sequencing, and create a wider, more powerful swing arc using just a flat surface at home.
Lower your scores by mastering low-trajectory chips that run straight to the hole. Meredith Kirk demonstrates her “chippy” technique—a method that combines a traditional chip setup with the simple motion of a putter. This high-percentage shot is designed to get the ball rolling quickly and predictably every time.
Standard bunker advice—opening the face and swinging “out-to-in”—can often be too complex and lead to inconsistent results. Alison Curdt shares a simplified approach that uses a square clubface and a specific “toe to the sky” backswing to ensure you clear the sand and get the ball onto the green in a single stroke.
Don’t let worn-out equipment hold you back. Kellie Stenzel reveals the tell-tale signs that it’s time to re-grip your clubs—from the “sunlight shine” to a loss of tack. Learn why a yearly replacement across your entire bag is one of the simplest ways to ensure a tension-free, powerful strike.
