Greenside Bunker Shot Simplified [Golf Tips]

Today, what we’re going to talk about is impact into the golf ball on a greenside bunker shot.

The number one issue that we see with amateurs is the how to transfer their weight to the right side in the greenside bunker shot.

What this causes is path of the club to drop and hit way too far behind the golf ball on a greenside bunker shot.

So, we’re going to adjust and put out by 80 percent of our weight on our left side, and we’re going to keep it there throughout the entire swing.

So when you’re practicing at home the greenside bunker shot, at your home club, draw a line two inches behind the ball. I want you to try to hit between that line and the golf ball and the ball will pop out.

So hopefully this golf tip will help you hit a greenside bunker shot with confidence and without fear.
