Before Hitting Bunker Shots Do This For 5 Seconds [Video]

0:00 | so in this bunker video I’m going to show you how
to get out of bunkers every single time but not

0:03 | just that I’m going to show you how to control
your distance out of bunkers and I’m going to

0:06 | show you how to play from different types of
bunkers bunkers where there’s a lot of sand

0:10 | and also those bunkers where there isn’t a lot
of sand I know a lot of my followers watching

0:14 | often mention that so in this golf lesson
I’m going to show you some insights from

0:17 | a friend of mine Graham Walker who basically
coaches Tommy Fleetwood and Tommy Fleetwood

0:21 | when he started playing golf wasn’t the best
bunker player in the world and now he’s one

0:24 | of the finest now he does something for a few
seconds before every single bunker shot he plays

0:30 | and apparently according to Graham makes a huge
difference I’m going to share with you what

0:33 | that is because it will really really help your
play too now before I get into the video look if

0:38 | you’re new to the channel it’s your first golf
lessons of mine please consider subscribing at

0:41 | least videos like this every single week to
try and help you improve your game plus you

0:45 | never have to remember a thing I’ll always put a
free download practice guide in the description

0:49 | box below so let’s start with this really simple
concept every time you swing a golf club it swings

0:54 | on an arc now all you need to do is two things
we obviously have to control the arc I’m going

0:59 | to show you how to do that in second but you also
have to understand how the arc interacts with the

1:03 | golf ball now in bunkers what we do is is the arc
looks like this there’s a low point to this arc

1:10 | and we put that low Point slightly look ahead of
the golf ball and slightly look under the ground

1:16 | now you’ll notice here the club would be coming
into the ground about a ball behind this one and

1:21 | then coming out of the ground just afterwards
this is what we want to create too many people

1:26 | if you’re thinning the golf ball you’re either
two high you’re not hitting any sand at all so

1:31 | you’re hitting the top of the ball and blading it
across the green sometimes your low point is so

1:35 | far behind that you’re topping the ball and again
hitting the leading edge of the club sometimes

1:39 | your low Point is so far ahead of the golf ball
but you aren’t controlling the depth of the arc

1:46 | so you hit too much sand leaving the ball in the
bunker in this bunker video I’m going to show you

1:48 | what you need to do before you hit the bunker
shot and during that’s going to get you out

1:52 | every single time how nice is this the sun has
come to join us to hopefully help you play some

1:58 | better bunker shots so you know one of the things
that you’ll find with great players and yes you

2:02 | could become a great bunker player it requires no
strength is they spend a few seconds making sure

2:08 | that they get the setup absolutely perfect what I
find with a lot of amateur golfers the setup is so

2:14 | inconsistent and it’s one of the major causes of
thinning it into the face of the bunker fatting

2:19 | it leaving it in there so great Bunker play
starts with a great setup so here’s the first

2:24 | step I want you to do take your sand wedge I’ve
got a 60° sandwich here and what I’m going to do

2:29 | I’m going to take the club I’m going to hook
it around the ball this is a great tip I got

2:32 | from Graham Walker absolutely brilliant now here
I just want you to draw a line of the end of your

2:38 | Club put your heels on the end of that line this
is your distance from the golf ball now if you

2:43 | like many of my students here they’ll immediately
feel like they’re a lot further away from the golf

2:48 | ball why do we stand further away from the golf
ball when we’re playing bunkers because it helps

2:52 | us to get lower to the ground the lower you get to
the ground the more Loft you can add to the club

2:57 | and that’s going to get your height when you stand
Too Close you just can’t get enough height to get

3:01 | out of the bunker so that’s the first stage get
the right distance from the golf ball next stage

3:07 | is this I want you then simply just to take your
Club draw a line straight back from the golf ball

3:15 | here then what I’m going to do is take a second
ball press it into the sand here okay and this is

3:26 | your second line now all you do is is we’ve got
our line distance from the golf ball here I want

3:33 | you to put your lead foot on your front line and
point it out 45° this is your ball position the

3:41 | second line is the line that you are going to land
your golf club on and it’s as simple as that right

3:48 | this is really important now one final thing
what do you notice about my club face my club

3:55 | face is slightly open all you have to do is the
Leading Edge Look he pointing towards my toe so

4:01 | I’ve opened it up so it’s pointing directly
towards my toe then I take my grip now I’m

4:09 | set up now a lot of people from here will feel a
long way away from the ball you’re going to have

4:14 | to get lower down look almost towards my hands are
almost reaching knee height this is the foundation

4:21 | of brilliant Bunker play so now you’ve got setup
you’re halfway there to making great bunker shots

4:27 | now we’ve got the two lines in the sand what I
want you to do now is simply figure out how do

4:32 | we create a beautifully consistent arc to your
golf swing The Arc has to have two properties

4:37 | you need to be able to control the arc and the low
point you need to hit the line every single time

4:42 | and you also need to control How deep the club
goes you don’t want to be going deep into the

4:45 | sound and hitting those big horrible fat shots so
you got to control the arc itself and the depth of

4:51 | the arc really simple so what we’ve got our setup
the way we learn this is by doing individual arms

4:57 | first so I take my trail hand here now all I’m
going to do is I’m going to make some swings

5:03 | and I’m going to visualize look at this I’m just
creating an a how do you think I’m creating it

5:07 | am I creating it with letting this arm go no I’m
letting the arm just naturally fold here and then

5:12 | here look letting the club just fall back down
to the to the ground and I’m landing it ideally

5:18 | on this line here now here as I practiced that
I landed it where too far behind this would be

5:23 | a fat shot so I practice there we go just gently
dropping it on that line every single time train

5:35 | that motion I might even from their look walk to
a golf ball after a few practice swings and just

5:41 | get sense of just dropping that club beautifully
look at this just drop it on that line and look

5:48 | you can play great bunker shots just with one arm
all I’m doing here is practicing I’m swinging the

5:53 | club on an arc and letting it drop on that line
but it started with a great setup position now

6:00 | slightly harder I’m right-handed but Im going to
try to do it with my left hand it’s going to be a

6:07 | bit trickier so I take my left hand here left hand
this is putting the Loft on the golf club here all

6:12 | I’m going to do now is practice the same thing get
myself set swing the club up and practice dropping

6:17 | it on that line notice it’s a little bit harder
for me but I’m going to practice it because I’m

6:23 | training how there you go now I’m getting it right
so I’m practicing keeping that left on and then

6:29 | I’m going to go in get myself set I’m going to see
how this Left Hand Works back here that’s worked

6:36 | pretty pretty good too right so I’m training how
both lead hand and Trail hand create the Arc of

6:45 | this club now most of notice this I’m not moving
around all over the players this is where key

6:52 | I’ve set my body up in a really stable balanced
position and I’m simply swinging and creating

6:59 | in an arc with the golf club here and letting
the club go I’m not snatching at it because that

7:05 | wouldn’t create an ark I’m letting it go so once
I’ve got that feeling all I do get myself set and

7:11 | here’s what I want to do you take your Club here
jump on the heel line perfect got my line there

7:18 | put my uh foot out 45° Club pointing Leading
Edge pointing at the front Club lower myself

7:24 | into the sand and I’m ready to go now here look
yes in practice you can’t have lo you can’t do

7:30 | all this on on a golf course but this is how you
kind of build the systems in place so you can do

7:34 | it very quickly on a course now I get myself set
here and I’m going to swing back and I’m going

7:39 | to practice just with both hands now striking
that line behind look the golf ball and I’m

7:47 | there’s no snatching here one of say where my
problem sometimes I might drive the club here

7:52 | that’s not going to help create the a most amate
golfers flick it here move out of position I’m

7:57 | staying in position here nice and St a and relax
just letting the club look release through this

8:04 | shot simple as that a little bit to the right
that one but it popped out there beautifully

8:15 | and stopped okay now one thing I love the feeling
of this and this is what Graham really gave me in

8:21 | my bunker play which is brilliant is he really
gave me what he liked to call the kind of the

8:26 | fishy tail for so someone like me who would
often Drive the club here the fishy tail is

8:31 | this look at my right wrist it’s just releasing
this is helping create look the ark to the shot

8:38 | here I’m allowing the club to swing back and
then as I’m coming through I’m letting the AR

8:42 | just beautifully fall down to the ground and
come through there’s a lovely Rhythm to this

8:48 | motion and it starts again with great setup lower
myself into the ground and then people ask me how

8:56 | do you control distance well you can control it
by simply changing your club I’m using 60 here

9:00 | if I want to hit a bit further I might use like
a a 52 and you can control it with speed okay so

9:05 | if I want to hit this further or shorter I would
simply just change the length of my swing and the

9:12 | speed that I hit it so look at this here look
nice and soft there you go barely touched that

9:18 | one landed really really short comes up a bit
shorter but it’s that’s just a very smooth one

9:24 | here if I wanted to hit it a little bit further
and Beyond the flag again same principle I’m not

9:28 | going to hit it really hard I’m just going to
swing add a bit more energy to this and this

9:32 | will carry that little bit further here back
look at that now let’s Carri that a little

9:38 | bit further and it comes out with spin okay
so great Bunker play starts with great setup

9:45 | and then understanding how to create the ark
okay every time now one final thing different

9:51 | compact Sands well look I’ve just taken out loads
of sand there if I move this into that area there

9:57 | there’s not a lot of sand underneath that golf
ball so when that happens you’ve got to get the

10:01 | club working slightly deeper into the sand and
all you do to kind of change that is just think

10:05 | about it if you’re creating an arc and I lean
backwards I’m going to be coming out the sand

10:10 | very quickly if I just lean in a little bit I’m
going to be bringing the as I naturally swing

10:14 | beautifully rhythmically downwards I’m going
to go into the sand just a little bit more so

10:18 | that’s all I want you to do is just simply get
yourself into your setup position here and then

10:23 | move a little bit more downwards into your kind
of lead side here but then the same principle

10:29 | all I’m going to do is let the club again just
fall as we’re doing here into the ground how am

10:33 | I doing this I’m using my fish’s tail look I’m
literally allowing the club to release through

10:38 | still I’m still creating Arc I’m just going to
catch that sand on a slightly more descending

10:42 | blow there you go pop tub is going to release
a little bit more it’s quite compact but

10:52 | it’s acceptable and you can see here I’m just
dropping that club beautifully down on that s so

10:59 | get great setup to start with then simply
start to get the Arc of the golf club here

11:05 | Trail hand get a feeling of this get the
club landing on the same spot every time

11:11 | if you cannot do that please don’t try and
hit golf bolts uh at bunkers that with get

11:15 | the club landing at the same spot every
time with both hands and you’re going to

11:18 | be well on your way to playing great bunker
shots every single time so I hope you enjoy

11:23 | the video if you did give it a thumbs up maybe
share it with one of your friends who might be

11:26 | struggling with us bunker shots around the green
but until next week have a wonderful golfing week
