Butch says:
- Turn the face of your sand wedge so it's about 20 degrees open, then take your grip.
- Set up so the ball is opposite the heel of your lead foot. That means it's waaaay forward in your stance.
- Put a little more weight on your lead side.
- Hold the shaft of the club straight up and down, not leaning toward the target.
- Then just make a half-backswing and hit the sand about two or three inches behind the ball. You're trying to throw the sand and the ball out of the bunker at the same time.
