Let's be honest, the "Bunker shot" is one of the most feared shots in the game. For many players, tension creeps into the grip and negative results usually follow. A great way to build your confidence is to work on your setup. This doesn't guarantee success but certainly improves the odds. Here are my 5 setup keys for a green side Bunker shot.

1. Open your club face first, then apply your grip.
2. Play the ball forward in your stance, just inside your left heel.
3. Open your stance (feet, hips, shoulders) so they are aligned slightly left of the
   target line.
4. Place about 60% of your body weight on your front leg – this creates a good
   angle of attack.
5. Set your eyes over a spot about two inches behind the ball. Remember, in all areas of the game, repeating and practicing the correct fundamentals like a proper “setup” will lead to success and confidence on the course.
