Most golfers still play bunker shots using an old technique… open stance, cut across the ball, and hope for the best.
But more and more tour players are now using a much simpler and more modern approach to bunker play — standing more square and swinging more square through the sand.
In this video, inspired by comments from Matt Fitzpatrick and Shane Lowry, I’ll show you why this modern bunker technique can make bunker shots easier, more consistent, and far more predictable for amateur golfers.
We’ll cover:
• Why the old bunker method can cause problems
• The modern square setup tour players are using
• How to improve strike and consistency from the sand
• Why this technique is often easier for amateur golfers
• Simple drills and feels to help you improve quickly
If bunker shots have always felt difficult or inconsistent, this might completely change the way you play them.
