Do you struggle with bunker shots? What about hard pan bunker shots? You know the type of bunkers you see at your local muni, the ones that feel like you are hitting off cement… well this video is for you! In this video I show you that golf can be easy, and that you need to use the tools that you have in the ways they were intended to be used. When you are in the hard pan bunker on a golf course, you need to have a good set up. You want your feet about shoulder width apart, the ball in the middle of your stance (not too far forward, not too far back), club face is almost square a little open but not too open, club selection you want the highest loft with the lowest bounce (very important), and the mindset is to not try and help the ball up but stay down and swing all the way through.
Let me know if this helps you, and if you have any more questions please reach out below.

Where do you hit? Just as far behind it as a normal bunker shot?
I got so good at these because these bunker conditions were all my local courses had! Just recently, they filled all the bunkers at my home course with SUPER fluffy sand, and it took me a good amount of time to adjust. RIP my cheap muni bunker game.
Do a video on ones that are almost all rocks from the size of dimes to quarters
Excellent lesson! Thanks!!!
