David Frost on Getting Out of Bunkers (Video)

This GC video, with David Frost's short lesson on getting out of bunkers, turned into shot at St. Andrews in the Road Hole Bunker. But there may be something you might misunderstand right here, so let me point it out to you.

First David gives you some general method suggestions. You can get the ones your self; they may be pretty simple.

The steps to getting out of the bunker are similarly clear.

1. Turn the club in your hands, then take your grip. That way you'll be less likely to flip the club at impact.
2. On your backswing, make sure the heel of the club gets up higher than the toe of the club.
3. On your downswing, hit just behind the ball and don't flip the club.

That second part is what I think you might misunderstand. I bet you'll try to twist your forearms on the way back, to make sure you twist the heel over the toe. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO! If you grip the club with the face open, the heel will AUTOMATICALLY move above the toe when you swing back. You do not need to rotate your forearms at all to get the face in the correct position all of the manner via to the finish.

If you attempt to twist your forearms, you'll add inconsistency for your swing and make it tougher to hit the sand nicely with the only of the membership. As long as you hold turning your shoulders all the manner via the shot, you don't want to curl your forearms in any respect.

David says this tip will help you get out of the bunker first time, each time. You might not usually get the ball actual near but, with only a little practice, your subsequent shot could be a putt. For maximum folks, it is a main accomplishment!
