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!

SAMPLE LESSON:

Gary Player's Million Dollar Plugged Lie Bunker Secret

Watch This!

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!

This is an amazing instructional program. Thanks for the "secret bunker shot" ;) I can't express my enthusiasm about a sand shot that I hit recently. Firm, packed, wet sand, back of the bunker, green side with 20 yards to the pin, 10 to the green.....set up with the reverse tilt, used my 58*, didn't go back far, but hit through the shot, and ended up 10 feet below the hole!

I shared the email version of this course with several golfing buddies. One took the time to watch it and apply the technique. Our bunkers are a bit inconsistent, but he is out of the bunker every time and is getting up and down more and more. I used these entire series and now don't even fear the down-hill, side-hill lie. As Eric would say it's applied physics.

Fantastic. These videos will definitely save strokes. It points out the error of my ways, and how to correct them. One of the unfortunate facts of life is the older we get, the more distance we lose, Langer being one obvious exception. We tell ourselves we will make up for it with a stellar short game. But when the handicap goes up, we realize that the short game is not so stellar, and we have fallen into a lot of bad habits. The genius of this video is it identifies and corrects those mistakes. That is not to say older golfers cannot have a stellar short game. Many do. The best example I can think of was Paul Runyan who was 80 when I met him and he was still a solid four handicap. What I am not telling you however is he was always a great short game player and Sam Snead who he beat in the PGA championships of 1934 and 1938 said he had the finest short game of any player he ever met. The only thing I would add to that is Paul was a first rate gentleman, and a credit to the game. Your level of instruction, like his, is sublime--and a life ring for the dogged victims of inexorable fate, as Jones biographer described us golfers.
