When Your Ball is Under the Lip of a Bunker

Megan Johnston's keys for playing those tricky sand shots when you're standing uphill and close to the lip of a bunker.

“How do I hit out of the sand when ball is plugged under lip of bunker” – Donna DeSimone

Yes Donna, plugged and under the lip is a tricky one, as you do not open the face for plugged shot but you need to open the face for a lip shot to get the ball up fast. Plugged and lip at the same time is a tough spot, if it’s really plugged come out sideways. Megan Johston LPGA Instructor

A Great New Lesson Posted Every Day!

Hi Jane, just wanted to say hi and let you know how much I enjoy and have learned from this site. I always talk about how informative this site is with the girls in my golf group.

In the last 30 days there have been 264 posts and 1243 comments.

I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE the little lesson/tip snippets (side hill lie, and out-to-in slice fix were both awesome). They are so so helpful!

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!

I am really impressed with Women's Golf and couldn't be more pleased with my membership and all of the great resources I can access.

Thank you for such a wonderful resource! I just joined and am so thankful for you and the other women golfers in this community.

I just wanted to pop on and tell you how grateful I am that you have a lesson on the scorecard and handicap! I am really enjoying your website and the facebook social group.
