How to Stop Leaving It in the Sand
Shallow swings cause you to either remain in the sand bunker or your shots remain too short of the hole. Without using golf swing training aids, escaping these bunkers is a job for brave hearts. Making your backswing steeper causes the ball the jump out. The steeper backswing needs to be practiced regularly and preferably in a sand bunker. Elbows pointed to the ground take a full swing bringing the ball out. Positioning yourself solidly in the bunker is essential next to hitting the ball from two to four inches will dig the ball out to safety and plunk it closer to the hole. This will break the habit of too short hits of your golf ball, not high enough hits or the problem of shallow bunker swings.
