Daily Video Tips
I love the lesson, but have a question. I live in Florida which is prone to rain of course and leads to compact bunkers. How do I execute a shot from a compacted bunker with wet sand? Swing harder? Try to pick it out like a chip shot from wet grass (also a video in this series)?
I think Clay Ballard is a terrific teacher. He makes learning golf fun and explains the "why" of things. He often has drills and that really helps. Simple & concise teaching instructions.
Love your instruction Clay. You explain things very simply and make it easy to go out and replicate. Keep up the good work.
Great tips from the bunker. I have issues in hard packer bunkers and seem to hit thin shots all the time. Any advice with hard packed sand ? I hv thought about playing it like a tight lie in front of green n this has helped but not 100% proof
Looks like you were a little off-balance at the top
