EASIEST way for SENIOR GOLFERS to PLAY SHORT BUNKER SHOTS

In this video, I talk about how to play a short-sided bunker shot. It’s really important that you set up to the shot correctly and understand how to open the clubface to create the loft, where to position the ball, and where to align your body so that the swinging technique becomes really simple. Once you are set up the right way, it’s simply a matter of using gravity, i.e., what goes up must come down. Using your wrists correctly, swinging the club on the right path, and releasing it at impact will guarantee you success at these shots. Remember, the shots need a lot of practice, so once you’ve got the technique right, go and practice the shots as often as possible so that you become 100% confident when faced with a short-sided bunker shot.

Greetings from Canada. Thanks for the great video Julian. I could not figure out what I was doing wrong until you called it. My swing was flat and I was blading it every time. As soon as I made it a more veritcal swing, hinging my wrists and letting gravity do the rest, I just got back from the pactice facility and went through an entire bucket of balls, landed almost every ball on the green and was even able to play around with the height of the shot. THANK YOU! Dan.

Excellent demonstration Julian on hitting a short sided bunker shot! This is one of the best recommendations and demonstrations that I have seen! I am going to archive this for future reference! Good Job Julian!

Julian,

[@rickcudmore8156]

I used this yesterday. It worked very well, just have to remember to follow through with some speed.

Great video Juli. Thanks

[@Drums-ve8on]

Geary Player always said a sand shot should be like “striking a match”; you must accelerate across the surface (sand) for the match to light.

Thanks Julian 🤞🤞👏👏

[@zahidnasrullah7150]

Very good instructions. Thanks

[@dennisbean6087]

Great video

[@alangoudie2299]

Excellent ,very clear, easy to follow advice which I follow.

[@paulegli302]

Thanks Julian, another interesting video, but contrary to your earlier video where you said not to open the club face and stand square to target… PS: which club did you use in this video?

[@gordenscottfan3107]

Another good bit of information.....got any ideas on how to keep wrist set in full swing from causing the club face to open so much that it ends up pointing right (right handier) at impact and a perfect straight shot 10, 20 yards right of target? Even in the single plane swing I get this too often...

[@jackswanzy]

So different from a previous video on sand play

[@brontynwarner7031]

our course bunkers have a thin layer of sand over a hard base. Club bounces ?

[@richardc6932]

Julian, I am confused regarding the open position of your feet and club face. As a previous question from another golfer, this is contrary to the previous video where you recommend a stance parallel to target line and a normal neutral club face position. Are you suggesting different techniques for different types of bunkers?
