Bunker shot - the sure out checklist. Step by step tips and checks and a photo sequence of the fairway bunker golf sure out shot. My secret is short fast stroke with locked wrists. The length of the back swing and follow trough will depend on the distance and height you want to reach. This checklist is the proven key to successful sure out golf bunker play.

1. Take a wedge. A Sand wedge, but a Lob or Gap Wedge also will do for a bunker shot.

2. Stand more open and dig your feet in the sand. Flex and bend your knees and stay low. Your weight is balanced on the inside of the feet.

3. The ball is a little bit towards the front foot.

4. Open your body, and aim your shoulders a slightly left from the target.

5. Open the face of the wedge a slightly right to the target. Let the wedge hover a few inches behind the ball at a point where you want to hit the sand.




6. NOW grip your club. Do not grip first and then open the club face, because then the result will be that the face will be square to the target and not at 1 o'clock when you hit the sand.

7. Choke down for short golf shot.

8. Make a 3/4 backswing with locked wrists. Keep your lower body still, lock your arms.

To put the sure out bunker shot so far in short:

Visualize the target at 12 o'clock

Shoulders, hips and knees at 11 o'clock

Club face open at 1 o'clock

Keep your wrists firm

9. Accelerate and hit hard in the sand just behind the ball. The sand will lift the ball out of the bunker. Remember, it is important to keep the lady golf club face open at the golf swing.

10. This sure out bunker golf club swing will feel like a powerful long putt: make a short follow through for short shots, and for longer shots a longer follow through.

11. Point the open club face to the target as you finish your bunker shot.
