Instruction: Greenside bunker play with Simon Holmes and Anna Whiteley

Simon Holmes gives our very own Anna Whiteley a lesson in greenside bunker play at her home course, Bearwood Lakes, to help her and hopefully you to leave less shots out on the course

Golden tip at #2:20 in the video. I haven't heard of this anywhere else. It makes practice so much easier: don't need to put a ball and draw a line every time.

Good to see Adrian Chiles branching out

Great basics , for me , listed there . Big problem for me is finding the comfortable stance-distance to the ball without touching the sand

Normal swing as if on grass, if you want the club and inch into the sand, wiggle your feet 1 inch down into the sand. Can then feel how heavy and wet the sand is, which needs more club speed, or if it’s light and dry. But takes practise, and I don’t practis bunkers a lot (well not intentionally!)

She hit 2 bunker shots better than he did. He got way too much ball and nearly put it over the green.
