Weigh Your Options In A Fairway Bunker

Fairway bunker shots are difficult for a lot of people because it’s hard to contact the ball solidly out of the sand. Also many times you might have a lip in front of you and you have to get the ball up over that lip as well. 

You can play two different golf clubs out of fairway bunkers — either an iron or a hybrid. You want to take the lip out of play; you want to pick a club that’s not going to bring that lip into play even if you skull it because then it’s like a penalty shot. If you leave it in the bunker, or hit way behind it with an iron, it’s basically a wasted shot. You’re trying to really advance the ball — not necessarily on the green, but up near the green.

"Serious about your golf game? Willing to put the work in this off season to improve? If yes, you will want to sign up for the new Plane Truth Golf App. It is a systematic approach supported by online lessons, a library of state of the art swing video clips, a Forum, where ideas are posted for comment. Most important is a well thought out system that allows you to best understand the key parts of downswing, backswing, address and impact/ follow through. Identity your swing issue and use a system of shallow or steep corrections. I am a new user of this app but not new to Plane Truth Golf."
