Sure Shot Golf Gps

View:

Having said that if you'll practice the following technique, the next time you're faced with this shot you just might find it a little bit easier.

Here is the typical scenario:

You find yourself with a good lie in a green side bunker but this is no ordinary shot. The pin is a good 20 - 30 yards from your location. Now, normally, you would take out your sand wedge and try to take a mighty swing that nips the ball cleanly. Sometimes this shot comes off and the ball flies out of the bunker and lands somewhere near the flag stick, making you one of the proudest golfers of all time but most times, however, the result is far less desirable. Most likely an ugly thin shot that flies over the flag, over the green, and into the bunker or worse that lies just beyond the green or worse yet, you flinch and hit the shot fat leaving your golf ball in the bunker and your golf club in jeopardy of being broken, tossed in the water, or being left for some other unsuspecting duffer.

Never fear, here is the answer that will help you when confronted with this situation.

1. Do not take out your sand wedge. Instead choose your pitching wedge or even 9 iron. The pitching wedge when used in this situation will release and roll further than your sand wedge and your 9 iron will release and travel farther than your pitching wedge.

2. Take your normal stance in the bunker with your feet pointing approximately 20 - 30 degrees left of the target. Note: If you play left handed reverse the verbiage and the technique will work for you as well.

3. Open the face of the pitching wedge or 9 iron relative to your target. This will expose the back edge of the club effectively applying bounce to the club. The "bounce" will prevent the club face from digging into the sand which would leave your golf ball in the bunker or well short of the hole.

4. Take a nice smooth swing and hit 1 to 2 inches behind the golf ball just as you would with a normal green side bunker shot.

5. Accelerate to a full finish and watch the ball fly toward the hole and release after hitting the green. The ball will roll out and finish somewhere near the hole

6. Practice with each club a bit to get a feel for how far the ball will fly and how far it will roll once it hits the green when you use this technique and I guarantee you'll save yourself some shots.

Enjoy your golf.

Sure Shot Golf Gps

So, let me tell you an example of what ?up and out of the shot? means, and then I'll give you a golf technique that you can use for your own golf game.

In the downswing, both knees stay bent during the bottom of the hit. And as the golf club passes you, the arms have to get out in front of you before you can turn through.

Now, here's an example of a player that comes up and out of the shot. As they start down, they get out in front and their body unwinds. And they get tall in the hitting area and the spine comes up and you'll see a push to the right.

So, here's the golf technique. If you push to the right and you think there's a chance that you may be coming up and out of your shot, you'll hit it weak to the right.

A great little practice is for you to keep a little more weight on your right side and let the arms pass you before you turn through.

Now I'm going to tell you a great way to become your best teacher.

The next time you go to the practice facility, pick out a nice green patch of grass. And after you have hit balls for 10 or 15 minutes, walk back behind the golf ball and look and see where your divots are going.

If these divots are going to the left, that means your club head is coming out to in and across the golf ball.

On the other hand, if after a few minutes of practicing you look up and see that you have divots going to the right, or that you're hitting the ball real thin, this divot would tell me that you're swinging too much from in to out.

So, here's a golf swing tip that will tell you how to correct it.

For those of you that find that the divots are going left, every time you get ready to hit a golf ball, simply put this club along your shoulder line and check to make sure that you're not aiming miles over to the left. That's probably what you're doing. You're standing with your shoulders aimed left and that's why you're seeing divots going to the left.

If you're hitting golf balls for a few minutes and you see your divots going to the right, your shoulders are probably way over to the right.

So, here's another golf swing tip that will help you correct it.

For those of you that discover your shoulders are going left, put the ball back in your stance a little bit.

For those of you that find out that your shoulders are aimed way right, put the ball a little further forward in your stance.

Try those golf swing tips the next time you're out and I promise they'll help you.
