For years golfers have tried everything to get the ball out of the bunker. The problem is one of the things they are trying to do is holding them back. A long time ago I figured out this one thing and stopped telling people to do it. Once I did I could literally get people hitting perfect bunkers shots instantly.
I know you've heard it all and probably tried it all. Well, you certainly haven't tried this. Once you do you will get every ball out the bunker which will lower your scores.

Tip Link: • HOW TO HIT PERFECT BUN...

[@duschdichtung2425]

last week I spent roughly 6hrs in the Bunker Practicing, hit about 260 balls, had a 75% success rate, still thinned a few and shanked a few, started again today, another 1,5hrs in the bunker, hit 63 balls and I'm saying an improvement up to at least 90% shanked only 1 ball and thinned about 4 balls straight over the green, I only practice when no one else is around. Pauls method works and I'm not going to implement any other styles for bunker shots. So, so happy at the results, back in the bunker again tomorrow 🙂

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very glad. Glad you found this tip and are seeing results. Great feeling when you can get them out and on the green. Takes pressure off the long game too. Sound like you need my shank tip too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2rOm2NraZ2lj9k I have literally fixed hundreds of shankers.

[@duschdichtung2425]

@@paulwilsongolf I'll have a look tomorrow

[@duschdichtung2425]

There are 21 Balls in the golf ball tube, today I only hit 42 but had a 100% result, out of the bunker and all on the green, I wish I could teleport myself to Vegas to show you how I have absolutely mega progressed in just 2wks, I've literally gone from massive frustration to total state of euphoric .... just dig those feet in and hit the golf ball and amaze yourselves!! And the best thing was today, I had a mini crowd of lets say 3 or 4 other golfers who came over to the bunker to watch ...what a feeling that was.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great job. So easy to hit these shots. Makes the game a lot more fun. Keep at it.

[@TimmyP17]

I have been awful from the sand for my entire life. I've watched this video a handful of times recently, and it seems so simple. This past weekend, was playing in a scramble and we found ourselves in a greenside bunker. I went through these steps in my head, and hit the absolute best bunker shot I've ever hit. Thank you so much Paul!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

That's great. Great feeling when you get them out. Stay focused and keep working on it as I suggest then you will get them all out.

[@loyckfiona]

For long bunker shots I use yr technique with pitching wedge….very good result. Thank you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

You can do that. Just be careful not to dig in too deep.

[@nickwilkins2527]

This absolutely works. Open/open/dig in/swing. Great lesson. Would love to see more short game lessons Paul. Thanks.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks. I will post more short game tips in the future.

[@paulschmuck7598]

This tip is the reason I follow this individual on all aspects of the golf swing. It will take patience, work and commitment. I have played golf for over 49 years. I am a believer that after 3 years of golf you will never get better unless you make changes. Paul Wilson took me from a terrible sand player. Absolutely no confidence in the sand. I would hope the lie was good enough to putt it out. I now feel like a 4 handicap player out of the sand. This tip works. It is one of his strongest instruction videos.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks so much. So glad you tried it and improved. Bunker shots are a vital part of playing good golf. If you can get it out it takes pressure off your long game because you don't care if you hit it into the bunker or not. They are very easy shots to hit. Just have to know how to do it which I explain in this tip. Keep up the good work. Let's get you to a 4 hdcp with your whole game.

[@petersampson4635]

I don't often go in bunkers but, last Wednesday I went in 3 and.......out in one, each time. Because of your observation with the feet already giving me my depth (that's the key 🔑 literally) I hit a normal shot but, with an open face and bingo! Normally I'm digging holes and out in 4-5 shots, trying to replicate a Tiger Woods sand shot. Thank you from Australia 👍👍👍👍👍😁

[@jennovices9141]

watched yesterday, couldn't wait to get to the range today to test it out, from 40 balls I thinned 3, and that's because I didn't have the club face open, i've been sooo frustrated with bunker practice from last year and this year as I was thinning and shanking every single ball out of Bunker, and I now I know the reason why, I was twisting the clubface to an open positon, I WAS not letting go of the club to create an open face, today I did exactly what paul said AND low and behold 37 out of 40 balls came out of that bunker like they should, I made the mark in the sand, full body turn and hit the ball (or the sand) with the same swing, perfect, i'm a happy man again :-) simple really.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Bunker shots are so easy yet everyone is trying to make it too complicated. If I taught you a different swing for bunker shots you would have to learn 2 swings. You don't have time to learn 1 swing never mind 2. Now you see you can do it with ease keep at it. Get every ball consistently on the green first. Once you can do that ... start going for the pin. Great job!

[@John-wx9oy]

I used to have one of those different swings in sand until I watched this video over a year ago. Paul says to use the same swing, and the main characteristic of that swing is written on his visor - Stay Loose. Sand is completely unforgiving with tension. A good body turn with relaxed arms lets the bounce of the wedge do exactly what it was designed to do. Watch the tour pros when they hit out of bunkers. They move like a cooked pasta noodle. Thanks, Paul. You're the best.

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. You should be loose. Being tight and trying to hammer it is not a good idea on any shot. The less you use your arms, them more you will use your body which is what I want.

[@philiprake915]

Almost 69 years old and playing golf since age 13 and after watching your video, I played today and lo and behold, it works great in soft sand. Thank you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. So glad you found this one. Getting it out of bunkers is a great feeling. It take pressure off your long game too. Stick with it.

[@schmides9896]

The way Paul talks...'like this is so simple people how can you not get this'. I love it.

[@paulwilsongolf]

No doubt. Got to give people hope. Make it complicated they will never get it.

[@simonthorpe6971]

Tried your tip today Paul. I visited 2 bunkers today, and much to my surprise, I got out first time both times!!! Felt superb, the simplicity was brilliant!!! Taken away myriad swing thoughts and fear over many years, thanks ever so much

[@paulwilsongolf]

Nice work! It is so simple but effective. This is a big part of the game so now you can get it out it will give you confidence for the rest of your game.

[@ArtJorgensen]

What a great tip, Paul! On a golf swing that's not in a bunker, many teachers emphasize using the hips to power the swing. Focusing on this over the past several years has dramatically improved my game. But I still struggle in bunkers. I carefully looked at scores of videos on hitting out of bunkers and not even one other teacher talked about using the hips for power. Not knowing any better, I used my hands and arms solely to provide that power--and it doesn't work. Now that you have emphasized using your normal swing (i.e., the hips provide the power) I promise I will never again use my hands to make the swing. I'll let you know how things work out.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. My technique will get you out in minutes. Been doing this for a long time with thousands of students. Let me know how you do.

[@silverfox5319]

Paul, this is just like all of your other lessons - easy to understand, easy to execute, and fun to watch the great results. Thanks, it is a great tip.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad to hear it! Thanks.

[@rollymarasiganreyes4950]

This really works, Paul! Thank you very much! I bucket of balls in my bunker practice... I didn't miss a single shot using your technique! Amazing! I will share my practice at the sand in my youtube channel too... Thank you again Paul!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great to hear. Bunker shots are so easy once you know what to do. Glad you got it. This will make a big difference in your game.

[@stephenhall351]

This really works. I struggled with sand shots for years. Since switching to open/open/dig in/swing I am 90%+ getting out of bunkers. Now can try approach shots over bunkers as not afraid of going in bunkers.

[@paulwilsongolf]

I hope the doubters are seeing this. Another one fixed. Good job.

[@johnmartys2930]

Thank you. This tip saved me 4 strokes today. I struggled with sand shots for years and this really works.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad it helped! Think of how great it will be if you can get out of bunkers every time. Great feeling.

[@jennifermiller4]

This is a game changer for me. I've always been taught to slam the sand before the ball. This totally works and the best part is that I use the same swing you taught me in "The Body Swing". Thanks for another great tip!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Happy to help!

[@KneeAches]

Long term struggle getting out of the sand. Saw this video yesterday so tried it in league last night. Three for three getting out and the last two were excellent shots. Great tips.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Excellent. Thanks for posting your success. I hope others see it works and try it. There is not reason people should struggle out of the bunkers.

[@stephenhall351]

Just to finish the thought. What I found really helpful was two things. One don't focus on hitting 3" behind the ball, focus on the swing after digging into the sand to lower your club path automatically, and focus in your backswing on getting the butt of the club to point at the sand which really forces you to make a full swing at the ball. These two elements really changed my sand game. I switched to this method about a month ago (after watching an earlier Paul video) and as I said I am 90%+ out of the sand now. When I have failed it is typically because the sand is wet so have to think about how to handle that case (or maybe Paul can post a video about it?). Thanks for all your help. I find your presentation method to be clear and easy to understand and apply whereas most youtube golf videos not so clear. Thanks again.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great. That's works too. I just wanted to make it every more simple.

[@paveen69]

Thank you Paul. I Love your coaching styles. It helps me a lot. The drill you show how to relax wrists is helping me get rid of my shoulder pain. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏😎😎😎

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great to hear! You should be playing plain free in the near future.

[@davidpenzone1078]

I have watched hours of youtube videos. All of the points you make are correct and using your normal swing makes the most sense. All of the other manipulations you mention really are unnecessarily complicating the issue, but continue to be taught thru countless other instructors. Thanks for this tip, it is a winner in my book.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Simple is the key. I figured out how to get people out of the bunker super fast because I don't accept they can't get it out. This is a real trouble spot for most golfers. If they can just get it out every time and onto the green this will save a ton of shots and take their games to a whole new level. Yes, others make it way too complicated. I watched one and counted 16 things they wanted you to do. Good luck. Stick to my 4 and you'll be out in minutes. Keep up the good work and keep getting them out. Once you can get every ball on the green then and only then start going for the pin.

[@dennisbabcock5315]

Great tip Paul. Haven’t left a ball in the bunker since I watched your video. You totally uncomplicated the bunker shot. Thanks.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. These shots are so simple. Hope the doubters are reading this.

[@francismahoney6165]

This really works. I tried it the other day during a round where I hit a few practice shots out of the bunkers. I even forgot to grip the end of the club on one and it still worked. "Regular swing" and don't worry about hitting behind the ball are really the keys here. Was taking a perfect amount of sand and not my typical 5 inch deep sand crater.

[@paulwilsongolf]

It sure does. Been teaching this for years and can get anyone hitting perfect bunker shots in minutes. Glad you found it and having success too.

[@thecrooner4jc]

I can't believe it. I watched this video 2 nights ago, and tried it out on the course today using a 58 degree sand wedge. I was 20ft from the hole coming out of a deep bunker. It was the shot of the day for me. It stopped 6 inches from the pin. I'm sold. Thanks for the only bunker method I'll use from now on !!

[@paulwilsongolf]

So glad you tried it and saw how easy it is to get out of bunkers. This is a huge part of the game. Keep at it.

[@geraudcrowder3228]

Thank you Paul for this excellent lesson. It is about time someone taught us how to execute this difficult shot in golf.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. I saw another tip that taught people 16 things to get it out. Good luck. Simple is the key. Do it my way you will be out like a pro in no more than 5 mins.

[@3dogs1monkey]

This is amazing, went in bunkers twice today, open face 130 degrees, re-gripped the club, normal swing and they both out and 4 ft from the holes, only if I could make both putts LOL. Thanks Paul, enjoyed my better games tremendously.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. And there are actually people who doubt me. How many people have to hit amazing shots in minutes for them to believe it. Glad you tried it an got amazing results too. This will really help into the future.

[@pauldavis8286]

Great video and bunker tips! I was taught to dig my feet in, open the clubface, weight on my front foot, and hit 2-3 inches behind the ball. Some days that worked, but I was too inconsistent. Seldom did I leave a shot in the bunker, but sometimes I would barely get it out. Many times, certainly not as close to the flag as I wanted. I am excited to incorporate your method when I get to the practice area in the next day or two.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks. You stop thinking about hitting behind the ball and it becomes so much easier.

[@jmm1817]

Thank you so much Paul what a great lesson especially at 3:00. I would always twist my hand to open it but it makes more sense just to fix the grip keep up the great work brother appreciate you

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Simple to hit perfect bunker shots. Do it my way and every time you are hitting any other club you are also working on bunker shots.

[@edithrobert-casanova7545]

Love your teaching... some really new approaches. It is absolutely interesting.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you like it. All of my stuff is tried an tested over 29 years. Fast and easy has been my thought. This is why I say things how I say them. Keep trying it and you will play amazing golf.

[@ryanbloodworth3185]

Awesome tip! Changed my bunker game instantly. Also, worked for flop shots. I use the same principles but just use my legs (i.e., more knee flexion) to get lower than the ball instead of digging in as you do with the bunker shot. Thanks!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. If that worked for you then keep doing it.

[@joeklenivic7093]

I've always hitting the ball with irons on the toe most the time and it would sometimes what am I doing wrong

I’m in Ohio, so we haven’t been able to play or practice yet, but last week I went to Orlando and never struggled more in my life getting out of the sand. I watched this video when ngot home and went to my local practice bunker to give it a try. It works! Great video. Thanks. 5 stars!!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you tried it. As you see getting the ball out of the sand is easy. Too many people making this way too complicated. Keep at it.

[@grahamjones7371]

Great video, i play with so many seniors that fear bunkers,most are trying some advanced tour pro techniques and failing! pros are trying to get it close with subtley and skill and different distances even taking off power.Most golfers just need a gettit outer!, a standard repeatable distance for them and 1 putt or 2 putt depending where the pin is.PWs technique is the best simple. Remember sand will stop a speeding bullet (arms only) but not a bulldozer (body)

[@paulwilsongolf]

I know exactly what you mean. My technique is super simple and works withing minutes. Once you can get every ball out then go for the pin. Getting the ball out of the bunkers takes pressure off of your long game so it is vital that you learn how to do it. It doesn't get easier than this.

[@aaronpoynter1144]

I watched the video and went to the practice bunker the next day. I cannot believe how well this works. I got up and down 3 times on the course today using this technique. Awesome! Now to dial the distance in with a couple different clubs. Thanks Paul.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you tried it and were successful. These shots are so simple yet people insist on making them complicated. Distance - open or close the face more or less or turn the body faster or slower.

[@voertsek8404]

I am beyond excited to play this weekend. Your coaching is Brilliant Thanks Paul. Australia 🇦🇺

[@roybailey5658]

This is pure gold thank you Paul

[@paulwilsongolf]

It sure is. I can get people out in minutes. I had a guy who came to me after taking 10 bunker lessons. He came just for a bunker lesson. I got him hitting perfect bunker shots in 10 mins. Previously no one got him out but no one told him to not purposely hit the sand.

[@user-do7gk4vo3h]

I'm a 12 handicap but have had tons of trouble getting out of bunkers for the past 40 years. Totally inconsistent and lacking confidence. I watched your video (a couple of times) yesterday and went out to play today. I was in four bunkers during the round . . . I hit four very nice shots out of them! One of them on a par 5 even set up a birdie sandie!!!! Your method is simple and, because of that, inspires confidence in the swing. I cannot thank you enough!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Wow! That's great. Bunkers are so simple if you follow this. As I said in the tip I didn't always teach this. Once I switched I could get anyone out in minutes. I literally had a guy come here from New York just for a bunker lesson. He had taken 10 in a past and couldn't get it out. Literally 10 minutes was all it took. Perfect shot after perfect shot. He said I was the only one who didn't say to hit a spot 3" behind the ball. This shows you that hitting is the problem. Stop that and do it as I show in the tip and you can get them out every time. Keep up the good work.

[@marccarrier7974]

although my distance to the pin wasn't great, I was able to get out of the 2 bunkers I was in and have a chance at par saves with this tip. after basically not being able to get out of the sand before my confidence has skyrocketed in just 2 attempts. I will now use this tip forever and start getting closer to those pins and getting up and down. Thanks Paul.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. As I explained in the tip you can get them out in minutes. Just them out. That is your first goal. Once you can get all balls in a whole bucket out then you go for the pin. This is going to be huge for your game.

Hi Paul, went to the pratice bunker yesterday. Your tip worked immediatley on the far flag,but, I did have trouble on the near close flag. It was my fault and I knew it was my fault. I was apprehensive about taking a full swing with the flag so close. After about 30 minutes I learned to really open the face and swing a little softer and it worked. I will be back in the bunker again soon to pratice more. THANKS AGAIN Paul..BE WELL.

Nice work! Yes, you figured it out. Open the face for sure. Trust. You're welcome!

I will definitely try your tip next time I play, actually, I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing.

That's great news. Saves a lot of shots.

[@hlubmos2chah945]

Almost everything is clarified except one thing. I know it's definitely not hitting 3" behind the ball or ball first and sand. Hitting how far really behind the ball?

[@vikramchoudhary7035]

You're a good freakin golf coach. Wish we had you tube when I was reading Nicklaus books to learn golf.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks s much. I learned from Golf My Way years ago. I still refer back to it every now and again.

[@ezvue]

What a leap of faith this is. But it works. Still can’t get my head around it and tentative every time I do, but...it works! Used this a few weeks now and results are better for sure. Thanks Paul!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Well if what you were doing before was not working you need to make it more simple. This is simple and it works. Keep getting the ball out and you get confident.

[@RJWSuffolk]

I’ve had bunker lessons from 3 different Pros, and 2 clinics - but was still struggling. Tried your approach, which was counter intuitive from my previous teachings - and it worked. When it stops working I go back to this video to find what I have forgotten to do. Many thanks, you are a wise man. BTW how did you know I don’t practice enough?

[@paulwilsongolf]

So easy to get it out of bunkers. They were probably teaching how I taught many years ago. Glad you tried it and are getting out. This will take pressure off of your long game.

[@kenneth6847]

Ty I watched this last night. I went out to our practice hole at our country club this morning. After I got the hang of it I put 26 out of 33 inside the flag stick from about 45 feet from a variety of placements. Definitely feeling more confident in the bunker now.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Such a great feeling when you can get them out. As you get more confident it won't even matter if you end up in one in the future. Keep up the good work.

[@arosas267]

New subscriber here. Your channel is great. Im a dad of three little ones that has zero time to practice, only lucky enough to play with friends on occasion. You help me to have fun out there and not embarrass myself!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for the sub! Having fun out there is the whole point. Keep it simple. Try to do practice swings at home working on the moves and drills I teach. Practice swings are the easiest way to work on it when you don't have time to get out there.

[@dailyabundance]

"You don't even have time to practice one swing let alone two" 🤣 So true!!! Hate the bunkers but can't wait to try this. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@paulwilsongolf]

No doubt. People keep thinking inside the box. See the big picture. Glad you do.

[@davidk8457]

Hi Paul, I switched to this bunker play at the beginning of summer and it's pure gold. I never even wince anymore when I go into the bunker. Pure gold !!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. This is just so unbelievably simple. No one should ever have an issue getting the ball out of bunkers. This is literally 5 mins. I watched a bunker tip from someone and he gave 16 things to do. No joke.

Great job! Imagine how many shots this is going to save you.

Thank you, again. Trying to get my friend, a new golfer, to follow your instruction.

Thanks for the promo to others. Hope they start to follow me. Be good to start now before they get into the habit of hitting with arms. Then it's much harder to make the switch.

Can't wait to try this tip and trick out!! Bunkers are not my friend......I do the weight shift, dig down and stab at the ball.... but this looks like my game changer!!! Thanks Paul!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Just follow it and you will be hitting perfect bunker shots in minutes.

[@barryharris9398]

Brilliant lesson, worked for me immediately!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. I knew it would. Now you can have a lot more fun.

[@simonthorpe6971]

Played twenty ten course at Celtic Manor last week, and so wish I had seen this video before i played! 8 shots in one bunker killed my round literally!! Cant wait to try it out, looks so simple...

[@paulwilsongolf]

Too bad. Well into the future definitely try it. They pop out so easy. Then you get confident.

[@RayButtifant]

Great Paul - tried everything and this works best for me. You mention harder, wet sand (that we often get in northern Europe) and your thoughts on adjusting to cope with that would be of interest. 😊 Thank you.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. I thought I mentioned hard wet sand. Face square so you get the shovel effect. If you can't dig in they you are picking it off the surface. Kind of a pitch shot. Grip down a tiny bit so you hit the ball first.

[@workoutrescuewithblakehowe]

So many bunker videos have you thinking of 25 different things during set up…I love this video instruction because of how simple your thought processes are, the tips make sense in breaking down the technique, and I’m gonna try this next time I’m out on the course. Appreciate you sharing it!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. I watched one and the person taught 16 things. Good luck with that. I make it simple and in minutes the person will hit perfect bunker shots. Simple is the key. Give it a try and let us know how you do.

[@workoutrescuewithblakehowe]

@@paulwilsongolf so hit the practice green today and got in the green side bunker. Dug my feet in, opened the club, and took my normal swing…perfect got it out and rolled within 5 ft. I hit 30 shots, some within 2 ft, 90% I got out and on the green! Thinned a few, got under a few…but couldn’t be happier! The hard part was just trusting the process and taking a full swing as I’m always think of blasting it over the green..tee…next hole😂…I like simplicity in my game…the less I have to think the better…my Dad on the other hand has 30 pre shot thoughts…I’m the opposite. Out of all the KZbin videos on green side bunker play, yours for me was the best and immediately paid off. Appreciate it!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you like the tips. Simple is the key for sure. Make it complicated or difficult and no one will understand or get it. As you see with this one, bunker shots are simple. After you keep getting them out you will get the trust. Keep at it.

[@miguelangelosorio7994]

Fantastic lesson, it really works!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Great to hear!

[@murraytrainer6857]

I just tried this tip at the range and the first shot was perfect. Still fluffed some of them but hit 3 good ones in a row at one stage. Thanks for making this type of shot a lot easier :-)

[@paulwilsongolf]

As expected. Now you will never have bunker issues.

[@wzahpnn]

Sounds good, I will try it!😀👌🏻

[@alvinmariteragi9349]

You don’t even have time to practice one swing yet alone two! You have the best one liners

Standing on the range for now 30 years gets you to see things in a different perspective. I do like that line. I have a good one in this tip too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioexipSLesxkl9U

[@mythosarts]

Awesome as always, now let's get your tip for those hard packed bunkers like the Muni's I play around here!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Thanks. You would square the face and dig the feet in. You need it to act like a shovel to get it out of the wet sand. If you can't dig it then you are picking it off the surface. I would grip down a half inch and do more of the my pitching technique. 3/4 back and turn the belt buckle to hit the shot. Still need to get through it but don't swing too hard or you will hit it over the green.

[@wannora74]

Thank you for showing this tip , I’ve had that misconception about hit 3 inches behind it for many years. I will no longer fear the sand lol

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yep, immediately stop doing that and you will pop them out like it's nothing. I have proven this countless times. 5-10 mins and they are hitting perfect bunker shots. I remember a gentleman flew in from New York just for a bunker lesson. He had take 10 lessons with other teachers in the past and still could not get the ball out. 10 minutes he was hitting it perfectly. He said I was the only one to tell him not to try to hit 3 inches behind the ball. You've got this. It will make a huge difference to your game.

[@nickchoo1085]

Today is 60 C in Atlanta and I tried your sand trap shot that hit like a regular shot as your feet is deep in the sand so you can aim at the ball and hit like a regular shot and the club head will automatically be under the ball. Guess what ? I hit 95-98% out of the bunker with ease, particularly if I try to straight up my right hand and not chicken wing it. Amazing Paul, best sand trap technique so far for me. Thanks a lot

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you tried it and were successful. Yet another person who got the ball out in minutes. Hopefully others read this and try it. People do not have to keep struggling out of the bunker.
