Thanks. I play to a 6.8 index, but have zero sand game and will go crazy if I hear one more time how the sand shot is the easiest shot in the game!! Something is just not clicking.

Jaacob, in the video when you actually hit demonstration shots toward the end you look like you get a little “hingy” with your wrists on the takeaway. Is this intentional? …or are my eyes playing tricks on me and you are just taking your normal swing. Thanks

Hey Jaacob,
Great tips mate ! I get out of bunkers every time and I get “wows” for my bunker play. The tips about reduciing tension generally and judging putting/chipping distances are really great ones. Finally, i have found some instructions which make a lot of sense and is easy to apply and less technical jargon. Have reduced my score by 6-8 shots after applying your tips in 4 weeks times. Thanks mate!
Cheers from Germany !

Just checked…USGA Rule 13-4: Ball in Hazard (Bunker) – Prohibited Actions – The player must not test the condition of the hazard, touch the ground in the hazard with his club or hand, or touch/move a loose impediment in the hazard. Penalty for breach of rule is 2 strokes.

One of the guys that I played golf with today said that he thought that, maybe, intentionally making a light indentation in the sand behind your ball might be considered “improving your lie,” which is a no-no.

Drawing a line with your golf club would be illegal, but how about making a light indentation in the sand, say, 4 or 5 inches behind the ball with your foot? Gives you something to aim at. Right?
April 26th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
Sure thing. Of course the lines would be illegal to do during the round…but I like it for practicing.

Haha, good eye. We filmed me hitting two balls that direction. I actually almost made the first one too. You can see the first ball just to the left of the hole. :-p
