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.
