My bunker play is at an all time low and that is saying a lot. I have never been good at getting out of bunkers, but it has gone from bad to worse to abysmal.
I know that there are a lot of factors that play into the issue, but I have tried about everything I know to fix the problem and nothing seems to work. The picture attached is the main issue I am dealing with right now which is hitting much further behind the ball than I intend to do so. I know a lot of times it can be because of falling back to my right side trying lift the ball out of the sand, but I have really worked on keeping my weight more forward than back. Even at times balancing just on my lead foot and my trail foot in the air, but I still hit way behind the ball. My goal is to hit about two inches behind the ball, but it ends up being 6 inches or more at times. I am at my wits end and appreciate any tips the good people of THPmy have for me.
