Bunker shot: keep the chest turning, don't decelerate

For a standard greenside bunker shot, hinge the wrists and feel the butt of the grip returning toward your belt buckle ("release two") while the chest keeps turning. Nervous players tend to slow down through the sand, which leaves a poor next shot; commit to turning through instead.
