! p m C t n u F this wnderful time f yer nd s lwys I lk frwrd t seeing everyne n the curse. Trevr Thms Glf Curse Superintendent Hw t Ply frm Firm Greenside Bunker If yu trvel ften t ply glf yu my hve nticed tht nt ll bunker snd is the sme. Sme bunkers hve light fluffy snd tht my be fund in such plces s cstl curses r resrts. Others my hve crse griny snd ften fund in the Sndhill s regin f Nrth Crlin. Other fctrs in the cnsistency f bunkers include whether r nt the snd is dry, nd hw the bunker is mintined. A bunker tht is rked with mchine is nturlly ging t be mre cmpcted thn ne tht is hnd rked. A few prctice blls frm prctice bunker shuld be enugh t determine wht types f shts will be required t escpe. Here re sme tips fr tckling thse tricky wet nd firm bunkers. Use less bunce. This is the esiest wy t crete gd bunker shts frm hrd bunker. Typiclly the bunce n wedge llws the club t glide thrugh the snd but when plying sht frm hrd bunker the club tends t bunce mre becuse f the resistnce frm the snd. If yu d nt swing very hrd this cn result in shnks nd thinned shts. When in bunker like this I prefer t use my 60 degree wedge with nly 4 degrees f bunce. This lw bunce llws me t still pen the clubfce nd get the club t slide under the bll. A lb wedge my be the best club chice in these situtins. Generlly speking lb wedge (58* r 60*) will hve less bunce thn snd wedge (56* r 54*). Use squrer clubfce t ddress. If yu d nt crry lw bunce wedge nly pen the fce s much s necessry t ply the sht. This will llw yu t neutrlize sme f the bunce n the wedge nd dig little bit in the snd. Mke sure t djust yur stnce ccrdingly. If the club fce is less pen thn regulr bunker sht then yur stnce shuld be less pen thn regulr bunker sht. Tke less snd thn usul. Yu still wnt t hit behind the bll, but nly by hlf. In wet r firm bunker there is much mre resistnce frm the snd. Therefre yu d nt wnt t try nd hit mre thn but n inch behind the bll. Accunt fr mre distnce nd rll. The bll will trvel frther nd with mre energy in hrder snd. This is especilly true fr wet snd. Als if yu re plying this sht with less pen clubfce yu will typiclly prduce less spin s well. Accelerte thrugh the sht. As with ny sht in glf yu shuld cntrl the distnce f the sht with the length f yur bckswing. 3 This will llw yu t ccelerte thrugh the bll nd prduce mre slid cntct.
