Instructors Nathalie Sheehan

Nathalie Filler Sheehan eliminates your fear of short-sided bunker shots by introducing you to the butterfly grip. Simply alter your grip slightly to help the ball launch higher and stop more quickly from the sand.

This was a great tip for me. Believe it or not in my younger days my everyday grip was almost this for all shots. Shooting single digit I wanted to get even better so took lessons and was messsed up for 20 years. Now I say this and thought "it's legal" for me to use this grip. So I'm using it in the sand again and also for some shots over bunkers or lobs. THANKS for giving me an excuse to use what comes naturally.... I'm back to being a good bunker player again

You did not mention where to place the ball in your stance, how far to hit behind the ball or how far left of target one needs to aim. What do you think?

What’s a good tip if the sand is wet under the surface?

Great tip. Are you also placing the ball more forward in your stance?

?name=T%20S&rounded=true&size=256

Great tip! I will definitely try this in practice and bring to the course.
