In today’s video I’ve set up a little exercise station to help you get the clubs sole, when you’re in a bunker, into the sand in the right position and its position is about a hands width away from the golf ball. It gives you a nice focal point of where you want to be driving that club in to the sand.

The tighter you can get the club into the ball the better the spin control. But generally, if you can focus on the mid-way point between towel and ball, you’ll play a successful bunker shot.

So, get yourself into position as you would do normally. I like to see the ball more forward. I like to see my players with a touch of weight in the left-hand side, and your goal is to focus on driving the club in to the sand, getting the sole of the club to bottom out in that half-way point between the towel and the ball.

Take a look at the video to see that in affect.

So, to help you crisp up your trap shots and get your entry point nice and tight to the ball, towel one hands width away from that golf ball and your focal point is half-way between the ball and the towel.
