Love your instruction. Like this video but lose the Closed Caption...yer blocking the video and we can't see where you're moving your club!

This is all well and good, but the courses I play have varying degrees of sand. Some heavy like gravel and some fluffy like tour sand. And worse of all, is a thin sand layer atop what feels like concrete below. How should I play a bunker shot with different sand quality?

Appreciate the bunker lesson, but.......
Someday a teaching pro will not be providing a lesson in "country club" sand like us mortals!

Clay is my favorite instructor - I really like how he explains each shot.
I've been struggling all year with thinning my bunker shots over the green and will try his suggestions when I go to the range tomorrow.
