The Situation: Your tee shot stops just inches short of rolling into the side of a fairway bunker, but now you have to stand in the bunker to play the ball , which is about even with your belt buckle.
Why It’s Difficult: From this position you need a baseball swing, not a golf swing, and how often do you have to play this shot, let alone practice it?
The Solution: Be practical. Advance the ball the best you can and rely on your next swing to help you save par. Regardless of your distance to the green , grab your 7-iron and choke down so that you can set the club behind the ball at address. Dig your feet into the sand for support , and make a few practice swings above the ball to get a feel for the motion. Move the club back and through with your shoulders and chest in a simple baseball-swing motion. It helps if you increase your grip pressure a little so you don’t rotate the face open or closed through impact, and bend your left elbow a little in your back-swing so your motion isn’t so stiff.
