How to Break 80 .... And Shoot Like The Pros

Do you lose strokes, way too many strokes, when the golf course you’re playing has a lot of sand traps ?

I used to, but now I’m better than I’ve ever been. I get out consistently with the basics and you can too.

Most amateurs try to hit the ball because they don’t know how to use the sand to fly the ball out and onto the green. Jack uses a pool to give you a visual on getting the ball out of the sand. I personally try to visualize a tee under the ball and I try to cut it out from underneath the ball with my wedge.

Jack also gives you a checklist to make sure your executing the shot correctly. You can print out this page and take it to the range with you, to make sure your fundamentals are correct.

The photos that accompany this section are good visual aids to enable you to see how to set set yourself for the shots from sand.

There’s also tips for buried lies, awkward stances, downhill lies, thin lies and fairway bunkers.

Tomorrow we’ll take on putting and try ‘putting’ it all together.
