Key Moments
Take it to the range
- 1Establish your distance from the ball by drawing a line with your club and placing your heels on it.
- 2Create a second line for your club's landing spot, then position your lead foot on the first line, pointing out 45 degrees.
- 3Open your club face so the leading edge points towards your toe, then take your grip.
- 4Practice single-arm swings, letting the club fall naturally onto the landing line to control the arc.
- 5For compact sand, lean slightly more into your lead side to ensure the club works deeper into the sand.
