Use a line in the sand to groove bunker entry point

Use a line in the sand as your target and rehearse strikes on it. If you strike the line well behind, or fail to hit the line at all (which is how you thin the ball into the bunker face), that is useful feedback to learn from. Practice moving up and down the line and gliding through, and do not start hitting real golf balls until your depth of sand is consistent.
