【Challenge 100 Cuts in Half a Year of Golf】 Even Beginners Can be Confident in the Bunker!

The angle is different, but it's evolving in various ways！！

Hello, this is CLARD.

A week later , it was decided that I would return to Japan temporarily, so I will do a comprehensive review in the next few days and try to cut 100 in the Philippines before returning!

If I could reach to take under 100 score, it will be achieved in 4 months from the start of golf, so I am quite enthusiastic(-_-メ)

So this weekend I will review the bunker shots that I have neglected for about three months, and at the same time I will spell them openly while embodying the knowledge that should be tackled at the current level.

Even beginners Can be Confident in the Bunker！

I'm not bad at it, but I'm a little worried

These are the  words that the coach (commonly known as Mr. Popo) said when practicing the bunker while still taking personal lessons.

"Golf is also a mental sport, so we should be able to handle it under any circumstances . "

Anyway, in order not to feel bad about the bunker, practicing again and increasing the probability of escaping with one shot will lead to confidence.

Review of Bunker Shots

The head is in the center of the body, 3 cm floating  address

When I compared the image with the bunker practice video 3 months ago again (top image), I could see that it was improved in various points, so I was already excited or motivated( ｀ー´)ノ

Thanks to Mr. Popo and Dr. Nakamura, who really taught me like Danpei Tange from Japan.

Anyway, it's been a while since I've had a bunker shot, so I'll omit my past blog and add the knowledge of Tera-You Golf's YouTube and Dr. Nakamura to improve it further.

I’m going to be cocking when I’m bunker, remember to turn the navel backwards

The left elbow and shaft are L-shaped as usual

The estimated width should be 2 to 3 times the distance when hitting with the turf (see last time for details)

The image of hitting 2 inches in front of the ball and the feeling of cutting horizontally with the head

Always strongly conscious that the upper body does not warp until immediately after impact. 

The right thigh naturally approaches the left leg (the right sole naturally rises), and the navel moves in the direction of the flying ball line.

The probability of escaping from the bunker will increase if you shake it off to the end!

Looking up at the ball that has escaped high! The shape of the finish can now be taken naturally.

There seems to be the quality of sand in the bunker, too.

I haven't touched it with such quality in mind, but when the probability of hitting from a bunker increases, this is also one of the fun exercises (*´▽｀*)

However, the bunker sometimes comes into the surface  of sand after the shot (;'∀')
