I`m getting fed up of hearing how the greenside bunker shot is the "easiest shot in golf." Give me one out of sand from 150 yards anytime (the "hardest shot in golf")
I stand open to the target line, open the face and regrip the club, swing slow and long across the target line out to in (I`m good at that) and contact the sand 2 inches behind the ball, which is about middle/forward in the stance.
Result?
The club head bounces off the sand and blades the ball into the face of the bunker if I`m lucky, or kneecaps a playing partner and goes 50 yards OOB if I`m not.
I`ve taken to attempting to chip out with a SW and putting stroke, which sometimes works and even gets close, but 1 out of 4 don`t get out at all,
though my playing partners advise to me to stick with this method .
