Today we cover the long bunker shot. This is a shot that the average golfer is pretty poor at executing. There are a few important aspects that you need to understand to turn yourself into a bunker master. I play the Fairway Bunker Pitch the same as if I played a pitch shot from the fairway. I like to keep it nice and simple. Even the strength I am going to hit the shot is the same. This applies to all fairway bunker shots.
If the sand is fluffy and you're worried about catching it fat, move the ball very slightly back in your stance. Remember that this shot will come out a little lower, so allow for some roll.
After watching this video, head to the practice bunker and teach yourself this shot.
The key here is not to change anything. Play your fairway bunker pitch the same as your fairway pitch. If the sand is soft, move the ball back a couple of inches further back in your stance to make sure you hit the ball first.
