Beat The Bunker!
Did you know there are 4 different ways to setup to a bunker shot based on the lie, sand type, distance, desired spin, and trajectory?
If you setup to every bunker shot the same way - regardless of sand type and lie - you automatically have a disadvantage from the sand... which might even create the tendency to hit the ball thin and over the green!
In your Beat The Bunker Course you are going to learn how to:
- Learn the FOUR different ways to utilize bounce and which are optimal from different sand types - SO YOU WILL GET OUT OF THE BUNKER EVERY TIME!
- Learn how to control distance and spin from all sand types
- Learn the Secret Gary Player Plugged-Lie Bunker Shot
- Learn Two Techniques for the Long Green-side Bunker Shot!

Gary Player's Million Dollar Plugged Lie Bunker Secret
Gary Player was playing a practice round at The Masters when he found himself in a situation where his ball had severely plugged into one of the powdery bunkers at Augusta National. While conventional instruction tells us to open the face and swing hard, Gary knew that opening the face just makes the bounce more exposed... which makes it very difficult to get the club to move through the sand and under a plugged ball!
Instead, Player closed the face substantially (which allowed the club to cut through the sand), lowered his hands, and addressed the ball off the hosel - and what happened next not only blew our minds - but took us a whole year to discover using high speed cameras!
