In this GolfPass episode, Natalie Sheen takes us on a thrilling journey through the treacherous world of bunker play. She kicks things off with a bang, dissecting the art of the generic greenside bunker shot. Forget the conventional wisdom of opening the clubface wide; Natalie's approach is all about hitting underneath the ball, a technique that promises to revolutionize your game. By positioning the ball in line with the left chest and digging those feet in for stability, she sets the stage for a masterclass in finesse and precision.
With the swagger of a seasoned pro, Natalie advocates for a square face and loose hands, allowing the club head to work its magic beneath the ball. Her ingenious tip of swinging from right ear to left ear adds a touch of elegance to an otherwise gritty maneuver. But the fun doesn't stop there; she introduces a game-changing drill involving a humble tee, challenging players to visualize breaking it under the ball with finesse and grace. It's a move that separates the amateurs from the true maestros of the sand trap.
As the adrenaline builds, Natalie unveils the red light, green light game, a high-stakes challenge that tests players' speed and tempo control in the sand. By varying the pace of their swings, golfers can fine-tune their shot distance with surgical precision. It's a game of inches, where the slightest adjustment can mean the difference between victory and defeat. And just when you think you've seen it all, Natalie throws down the gauntlet with a final drill involving a towel or basket, pushing players to new heights of skill and dexterity. With these expert tips in your arsenal, conquering the bunker has never been more exhilarating.
