In our Golf Video Blog series, we focus on a simple, 3 step standard bunker shot for the final episode of the year.  Watch as Mel Sole from the Mel Sole Golf School demonstrates these 3 critical steps to ensure a successful bunker shot!

Step 1. Draw a line directly at your target.  This is to make sure that you are aiming correctly.  You want the clubhead path to move down that line.

Step 2. Draw a second line at 90 degrees to the first line and place the ball on that line.  Your lead heel is also going to be placed on that line.

Step 3.  Draw a third line parallel to the second line and 2" inside.  This is where the clubhead is going to strike the ground.

After you have played the shot, you can now see exactly where you struck the ground and in which direction the clubhead path was moving.  If it is not what you require, adjust the next shot.  This constant adjustment will allow you to find the correct way with practice!
