Did you know that most golf professionals often prefer to aim at, and land in a bunker, rather than play a shot from the rough? It’s true, if they can take a better line to the pin from within a bunker on the golf course, they won’t hesitate to aim for the sand. The reason is, they’re not afraid to play sand shots, they would rather be in there than have to chip out sideways onto the fairway and possibly dropping a shot.
Mastering your bunker shots can have a very positive affect on your game. Don’t fear the sand, master it, learn to love playing sand shots and watch your golf game improve out of sight.
