Golf Podcast 221: How to Escape the Wet Sand

If you find yourself in a bunker with nasty, wet sand conditions a relatively easy shot can turn difficult – or impossible – in a hurry.

This week on The Golf Podcast, hosts Frank and Mike discuss the proper way to play a greenside bunker shot when the sand is wet and packed down from a recent rain. Remember, playing a traditional “explosion” shot is not an option here.

Instead, hone your pitching technique and you’ll be out of the soaked sand in no time!

In This Show You Will Learn:

• Why you can’t play a traditional “explosion shot” from packed, wet sand.
• How to make a great pitch shot from a wet greenside bunker.
• What to look for when you assess your lie in a rain-soaked sand trap.
• Plus much more.
