Spent some time with my youngest Granddaughter this morning. We spent a lot of time on green reads, and what makes the ball do what it does.
We also spent time on 40 yard shots over a bunker, with a 3' foot mound, to a pin about 5 yards behind the mound. The front edge of the bunker was 30 yards away. Any ball that didn't clear the bunker, or the mound, became bunker practice shots. There were a few of them, as well as few balls on the down slope to the pin.
She's a new enough golfer to still be intimidated with this type of shot. Just trying to get her use to it.
We get together most Sunday mornings to practice on our short games. She sees a lady lpga pro for her full swing game. We trade ideas.
She will be playing on her highschool team in this, her senior year shortly. Her goal is to qualify for state competition like her older sister did last year. Her school has new golf coach this year. Hopefully he will be better at mentoring "all" his players than last year's coach was.
