Hitting From the Bunker’s Edge

photo credit: danperry.com   Facing a shot on the bunker’s edge, where your only stance is in the bunker, is a difficult shot to play without the proper technique:  Try the following:   1)  In your address, stand taller than you normally would.  2)  Bend slightly from the hips at address.  3)  Feel as if you are raising your collarbone which will give you room to swing the club around your body, preventing a chunk.  4)  Widen you stance by moving your forward foot six inches towards the target.  5)  As you swing down, you must allow your head to swing slightly to the left; doing so delays the release of the clubface.

Be sure to practice this shot, although this type of lie is not that common, there will come a time when you need to play it.
