How Good Are You In The Sand?
Think about it, if you could convert 5 out of 10 attempts from a
normal lie in the trap, how many strokes could YOU save per
round?
If you're like most people, you could save yourself at least 3-4
strokes per 18 holes.
I consider...

Eat Fried Eggs For Lunch
The "Fried Egg" is another situation frequently encountered by
those of us attempting to play this crazy game called golf.
The "Fried Egg" gets it's name from the way the golf ball looks
lying in the sand. If you can imagine for a moment that the golf
ball is the yolk of the egg and 1/4 to 1/2 of the ball is buried
in the sand with a ring of shallow sand around it.
We've all been in this situation and if you'll follow the steps
below, the next time you find your golf swing puts your ball
into a fried egg lie, you can simply eat it for lunch, saving
yourself a shot or two in the process.
1. Place the ball in the middle of your stance or just slightly
forward of middle as opposed to off your left heel which is the
position you should be using for normal lies in the sand.
2. Align you feet slightly left of the target. A little more
squarely than you would for a normal bunker shot. For a normal
shot you might open
your stance 20 - 30 degrees left of your
intended target line. For this particular shot 5 - 10 degrees
will work nicely.
3. Square the clubface to the target line just as you would for
your normal bunker shot.
4. Aim the club face at the edge of the "egg".
5. Swing along the line of your feet (Just slightly across the
target line) and into a nice full finish.
6. This technique will produce a shot that pops up and out of
the bunker. The ball will tend to run on a bit under normal
circumstances so allow for that when planning your spot to land
the ball.
7. Practice your short putting (10 feet and in) for 30 minutes
weekly and you're going to shoot lower scores.
