Buried Lies

The myth of simple golf swing

This week's class is entitled, "How to Get out of a Sand with a Hidden Lie", and this class could really help you out in a case where a buried lie could possibly add a few unwanted cerebral vascular accidents to your round.

This is one of the most scary shots in all of golf by the beginner. Why? Because it looks so frightening when you can hardly see you golf ball, but it doesn't need to be that way. You will be reaching excellent hit and impressing your buddies when you adhere to these steps!

Let’s say that you just do not have a “fried egg” (where 50% of the golf ball is buried) but only the very top of the golf ball is noticeable. What do you do? Adopt these measures and you will be able to hit any lie that you have in a bunker.

Here’s what you do:

Choke down on the golf club, about in the same place as a regular bunker taken (1-2 inches wide from underneath of the grip).

Take your regular position, however open it up a little bit.

The greater part of your bodyweight should be on your front part foot
Close your clubface and press your arms ahead just a little (this will create sure you to generate the golf ball out of the sand).

Keep your reduced system still! This is so important, especially in this shot!

Just like a regular bunker taken take a extreme backswing so that the buttocks of the team is indicated at the gof ball. *Remember that your remaining arm is going to cause this taken and will be absolutely similar with the floor. Your right shoulder is in the closed place.

When you begin your ahead move do not move your bodyweight ? keep a lot of your bodyweight on your feet.

So once you have began your extreme ahead move hit about 2 " wide behind the golf ball.

This is very important because if you try and hit the golf ball first you will just generate it returning into the sand. By reaching 2 " wide behind the sand will actually raise the golf ball out your clubface really does not even contact the golf ball. *Remember it’s very important to keep your clubface shut so that is can generate the golf ball out!

Remember to move through the sand and not quit once you have hit the sand.

Keep your position extreme throughout the taken.

Drill:

At the exercise bunker beat a few golf balls almost absolutely engrossed (make sure you can only see a little of the golf ball. This provides you with so much assurance because this only happens in a portion of sand perform. Concentrate on maintaining your team experience shut throughout your swing….I cannot pressure this enough!

Putting it all together in the bunker:

Normal bunker shot: rectangle to a little bit begin clubface, equally healthy bodyweight or bodyweight on returning base, steep/vertical backswing (lead with your remaining arm and keep your right shoulder “locked” to its side), keep your whole reduced system still?no bodyweight changing until you hit the sand.

Buried lie in bunker: a little bit shut clubface, ahead media your side a little, greater part of your bodyweight on your feet, steep/vertical backswing (lead with your remaining arm and keep your right shoulder “locked” to its side), keep your whole reduced system still.

Next weeks time, we'll talk about buried can be found, and then it's on to cracking and placing. Excellent playing golf, until then.
