Short Game · Technique

Set up wide and low with weight forward in a bunker

The instructor's greenside bunker setup for intermediate players: widen your stance a little and lower your posture, and play the ball around the inside of your left heel (or a ball or two inside that, but always left of center). Set 60% of your weight in your left foot, keeping that weight forward throughout the backswing.
