How To Escape a Sandtrap or Bunker in Golf: Conclusion
I want to share a sand trap story with you that I recently experienced.
It was a par 5 and, because sometimes I’m able to hit the ball a pretty good distance with my driver, I got greenside in two shots on a 540 yard par 5.
The competition was envious but when we arrived at the green they kind of laughed: “Ah, you’re in the bunker…we’re still in the hole!”
They suggested that they were still in the hole because they’ve seen my bunker play. I was incensed thinking…I’m going to get this ball up and down, birdie this hole, and win all the money.
So what happened?
I hit the ball out of the bunker and it landed in the front yard of a house out of bounds. Now, I’m hitting five out of the bunker and it took me three shots to get down so I end with a 7 instead of a 4 and lost the whole.
Moral of the story: Bunker play is so important — don’t neglect practicing it!
After watching these videos, my bunker play has improved measurably. And, best of all, it’s free to practice at my local range.
I hope that your bunker play is similarly improved after watching these videos on How To Escape a Sandtrap or Bunker in golf.
