This BUNKER Shot is SO EASY Anyone Can Do It | Golf Legend Tom Watson
the uphill lie one of the things you have to do on an uphill lie is understand that the ball is going to come out very high my spot is now where I want to land the ball very close to the hole cuz the ball is going to be really projected up high and land softly so that's my aiming spot to play it properly what you have to do is lean back with the right knee braced forward like this but you want your shoulders want your shoulders to be parallel with the slope and the key element of this swing is different than a normal bunker shot on a flat Li and that is when you come into the ball you come into the ball you rotate your hands just a little faster you make sure that the club is straight pointing at your belly again you want to make sure that it's not leaning this way you don't want the hands to lead the club head into the ball like that because that'll cause you to dig into the sand and come up way short what you want to do is make sure you release the club head like this so that the club is pointing toward your middle section and hit just behind it and continue on up the slope like this let's see if it works I open the face just a little bit and then I release it through remember release through lean back with the right knee braced forward like this but you want your shoulders to be parallel with the slope and the key element of this swing is when you come into the ball you rotate your hands just a little faster you make sure that the club is straight pointing at your belly again I open the face just a little bit and then I release it through
