How to Blast One From Below Your Feet
Your knees are the key to digging the ball out

This story is for you if...
• You have trouble with normal lies in a bunker and...
• ...you feel as if you have no chance when the ball is below your feet.

The Situation
With your ball in the sand, you're forced to stand outside the bunker to take your stance, and the ball is well below your feet.

The Solution
You'll need extra bend in your knees at address in order to get your club down to the ball. More important, they'll have to remain bent during your swing or you'll catch the top half of the ball. Control your knees and this becomes a relatively simple bunker shot.
