Sand Play - The Sound You Make Will Tell You Everything!
In today’s lesson, we’re focusing on one key idea in bunker play: learning how to play the sand, and to listen to the sound you make when striking the sand.
Most golfers try to hit the ball, but in the bunker, the real goal is to enter the sand before the ball. The ball leaves the bun on a cushion of sand.
This drill will help you start feeling and hearing that connection—how the club interacts with the sand and why that matters. Once you understand that, consistency and confidence in the bunker become much easier.
I’ll break down the drill in this video so you can start making more reliable bunker contact.
