| At Miromar
Lakes Beach & Golf Club, the sand traps have new sand which is very
loose and fluffy. Until the sand totally settles, this poses a difficult
shot for most people. An easy rule of thumb to remember: When the sand is
hard, swing easy, and when the sand is soft, swing hard. So a semi-explosion
shot for the average golfer is the way to go. This is done simply by opening
the stance, placing your weight back on your heels, taking your sand wedge,
squaring the blade, and playing the ball a little more in the middle of
the stance. Break your wrists quickly on the backstroke and then hit slightly
behind the ball with an abbreviated follow through as if you are plowing
through the sand. This is called an explosion shot. The reason for this
is because the club never touches the ball, rather, the compacted sand goes
against the face of the club and through the ball. This abbreviated low
follow -through will insure that the ball will come out every time. With
a little practice you will acquire the feel needed for all bunker conditions
and various changes in consistency of the sand throughout the course.
Best of Luck, Mike Calbot |
