Before Hitting Bunker Shots Do This For 5 Seconds

[@johnritchie8336]

This set up method is so thorough and coherent. Ball position is where I can go wrong and this is such a clarifying lesson. Thanks Danny

[@DanielMaude]

Glad it was helpful John, hope you are well

[@daveverburg2058]

So watched this three times this week. Stepped into a greenside bunker today went through this process (without grounding club obviously 😊) and nonchalantly played a cracking bunker shot the rolled beautifully into the hole for a birdie 3. Haven’t been that excited in sand since I was about 6! Thanks Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

So awesome to hear

[@Take5North]

Danny, This bunker approach worked amazingly well. Thanks for your excellent instructions!

[@DanielMaude]

That’s incredible like thank you

[@robmonick8509]

Thanks!

That’s really kind Rob

[@DavidCrays-zt7js]

I’ve watched dozens of bunker videos and had at least 20 lessons with instructors. By far the best explanation on bunker play I have found. Each piece of this setup is easy to understand. The distance to the ball is a tip I have never heard before. I tried it at our deep practice bunker with various sand depths and it worked every time- even with wet compact sand. Simply amazing.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s wonderful to hear

[@GregG.T509]

Thanks!👍

[@MichaelSisley-fw3xr]

Everyone always said open the face of the club. You answered the question I always had, how much? I never did the 45 degree left heel and point the club heel at the left toe. Wow! I can do this. I know I can. I was sort of OK in bunkers, but I was not getting lower like you described. All of this is repeatable that you instructed, not complicated at all, and produced good results. I had good results with your pitching video as well. Thank you so much.

[@DanielMaude]

Wonderful to hear Michael

I have watched so many bunker videos. I am a 2-handicap and, honestly, I am horrible out of bunkers. If I can get out AT ALL it's a success. But after watching this video I am eager to start the new year off strong and get out of bunkers consistently. Thanks, Danny!

Thanks Tom appreciate the feedback and support 😁👍

[@julianroberts698]

Morning Danny not quite sure how I missed this but I had a terrible time in the bunkers yesterday so perfect timing. I would say it was the best I've ever hit my driver but a total of 9 shots in 3 bunkers completely wrecked my score. You make it look so easy and the way you explain it surely it should be. I was going to keep away from the course for a couple of weeks as mentally ot destroyed me but now I can't wait to get back to give this a go. Thanks as always Danny and have a great week

This was so very helpful. Went straight to my local club & practiced from the worst bunkers (my course does superficial raking over hard pan beneath) with great results. One thing I noticed is your feet alignment. I'd always been instructed to have an open stance (left of target). Aligning as you did toward the target allowed a consistently predictable outcome. Thanks.

Beautiful lesson as ever Danny! What I've realised from watching you, is your control is such that you can consistently recreate the reasons for our bad shots. I would love to see a chipping lesson where you concentrate on what makes the bad shots. Then show us how to recreate those bad shots on purpose, then move onto slowly correcting them. I think you did this once with a slice video, you showed us how to hook it and then bring it back to straight. I found that helpful as it made me "feel" the bad shots and thus it was easier to correct them.

This is a really good video, I feel I'm a decent (ish) player but I've never much practiced bunker play in 30 odd years of playing which I've started to really concentrate on the last few weeks as it's the last area of my game I want to get truly proficient in. I watch a lot of Dan Grieve's stuff (which is also awesome for short game improvement) but this landed with me a little bit more in terms of the set up and feels v reals; the club dropping under it's own weight and the movement of the hands resonated with me as I try to get away from the hideous thin and fat shots from bunkers. Thanks Danny, great content as always. One of the top YT coaches out there.

My grandfather taught me this exact drill for setup and swing to make sand contact one ball behind about 50 years ago! It still works, and when I go wonky I always return to this. He always said that setup was the key to good bunker play around the green. Fairway bunkers are completely different. I would love to see a lesson for strikes from fairway bunkers! Thank you!

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you 🙏

If something was once true it’s always true. Your grandfather was a wise man and good teacher. Lucky you. This is why Danny has 1.2 million followers and why I’m just one of them.

It's amazing how easy the game can be when it's taught in understandable bite-size chunks and something I will have to try. Bunker play is only something I can to "practice" unfortunately when i'm actually on the course, and over the years I developed my own style of bunker play. The ball usually towards the back of my stance, feet pointing 30-45 degrees open stance with the club also open so it runs up the longest part of the face. Almost like a modified flop shot. Works most of the time, with distance control coming from club head speed.
