Tip of the Week- Stay tall to hit fairway bunker shots

The biggest mistake people tend to make when hitting a fairway bunker shot is trying to dig the ball out which causes the sand to be hit before the ball slowing the club down and losing lots of distance of the shot.

The idea is to hit the ball really clean.

During your swing, try imagine you are a puppet on a string and your head is being held up. Maintain this position throughout the swing making sure you stay tall and dont drop from this height and you will pick the ball cleanly off the top of the sand, getting the most distance possible.
