Do you overcomplicate things in the bunker? If so, Erika Larkin explains why you don’t always have to swing fast to splash it out of the sand. Use the bunker chip to reduce risk and save more shots.

How do you chip out of heavy wet sand?
Several years ago, Peter Lonard, the day after winning the Australian Open was in the left bunker at Mornington (Victoria, Australia, Pro-Am) was advised by his local lad caddy to use the putter. Resulting in a par 4, not bad after celebrating until late.
Erika, I’m a 66 year old dude, but I gotta say that you’re one of my favorite GolfPass instructors — particularly on sand technique. Always clear, and very uncomplicated. I really appreciate your approach.
Grip in palms like you suggested for a chip off the grass??
