The dreaded bunker. It can ruin even the best golfer's day. Many think that a bunker means "bogey" or "I'll get 'em next time," but it does't have to if you are prepared. Bunker play is by no means a small part of the game, it can make or break you. How about we use bunker play to "make" us this time by following these simple bunker play tips.

1. Keep the clubface open. A closed clubface causes a low trajectory.

2. Try and hit 2 inches behind the ball.

3. Position your feel firmly into the sand, dig in a little.

4. Choke down on your club a little to make up for buried feet.

5. Toes should be deeeper than heels in the sand.

6. Have a comfortable open stance.

7. Place most of your weight on the front foot.

8. Hold the club loosely, but stay under control.

9. Try to keep your hands slightly behind the ball on the swing.

10. Focus on splashing the sand under the ball. This will make for clean contact.

Next time you find yourself in a bunker, put these tips to work. Try to get some bunker practice in when no one else is on the course. Really master the bunkers and use everyone else's downfall to your advantage. Good Luck!
