Golf tip: Fairway bunkers
GOLF NEWS - One of the toughest shots in golf is the one out of the fairway bunker – fairly easy to get out of but very difficult to get the right distance because it is hard to get a clean strike on the ball.

Try the following if you find this shot difficult:


Settle your feet into the sand.


Grip the club a little shorter and then reduce your lower body movement during the swing.

You may have to take an extra club as you will not hit the ball as far with the reduced leg movement but it will help you strike the ball better.

Good luck, keep it on the short stuff and enjoy the great golf courses we have in this country over the holidays.
