Tom Stickney's Sand Drill (Video)

You probably know this drill but watch this because this explanation is better than most. Instructor Tom Stickney explains proper bunker practice in this GolfTipsMag video.



Everybody talks about drawing a line in the sand and hitting the line... but nobody talks about the depth of the sand you take. Hitting good sand shots is about more than just hitting the sand in the same spot.

You need to take the same depth of sand each time or you'll still hit your shots inconsistently. Sometimes they'll be fat and sometimes thin.

When you practice your sand play, strive to take out a "strip" of sand that's the same length and the same depth each time. The better you get at that, the better your shots from the sand will be.
