Martin:
Could you present an episode on how best to hit longed shot out of a fairway bunker? I know sometimes you just have to take your medicine and use a lofted club to get out of the bunker. But sometimes you have a flat lie where you can take a shot at the green.
Another great tip!! Was the sand in the bunker a but damp or wet? If so, how much depends on sand being wet or dry when you are playing to a longer pin from greenside bunker? I tend to play better out of wet sand. Thanks for any insight. Your the best!!
Please discuss any changes you make with your grip and the position of the shaft at address for bunker shots?
Thanks for the tip, Martin! Do you still recommend the 60 degree in the bunker if (like mine) you have very little bounce on that club? My 54 has quite a bit of bounce and my 60 degree has very little. Does that impact the club choice? Thanks again!
Thanks Martin, do you recommend the same for the 'hard pan' sand traps which in many situations it is like what you are hitting from?
So when you're on the fairway 10 yards short of the green do you use more wrist? Trying to get used to my new 60 degree
How do you play sand trap shots in sand traps that are as hard as concrete??
Andrew-do you have a video showing the best drills using alignment sticks?
Thank you.
What's the best way to selected the correct club/degree loft to use for chipping
