Grooved Golf Swing Series:Be The Correct Height To Pass The Club Head Beneath The Ball In A Bunker

When you apply your practiced swing, your grooved golf swing, the one you have developed to play your

bunker shots, it is imperative that you think about what you are doing.

As I have said in previous

articles, one of the most important aspect of the bunker golf shot is that you keep your body absolutely

still when it comes to sideways movement and just swivel or turn your body as though you are in a

tube.

It is fatal to allow your body to deviate to the left (right handers).

You will never

get your club to pass deep to the ball if you sway to the left.
You will duff your shot.
So,

you need a very good, solid base when you take up your stance.
Your feet must not be in danger of

moving.

To achieve such a stance, dig and shuffle your feet into the sand so that you are now

standing a couple of inches below the surface of the bunker.

Now, this means that when you make

your swing, you will hit or dig a couple of inches below the ball which is far too deep.

Experiment

with your swing and see what happens. You will probably dig too deeply as stated.

However, if you

still are not able to pass our club head deeply enough beneath the ball.
All you have to do is band your

knees a little more more.

Then, if your new stance, a couple of inches below the surface of the

bunker, makes you dig too deeply, because it has moved your hands nearer to the ball, just move your

hands a little further down the shaft, towards the ground.
Practice to get the right amount of movement

down the shaft and then swing with confidence.
