During the spring and summer time months, whilst there may be extra rain than common, you won't be able to discover a fluffy lie within the sand - bunkers are water-soaked and packed hard, therefore the time period "tough-pan".
No leap, tough-packed sand and plenty of water can flip a normal bunker shot right into a or three shot mistake. How can you get out of these difficult sand bunkers in a single stroke?
I came upon this exact predicament as I navigated my way via the stunning and distinctly maintained River Club this beyond week. After a deluge, even the most pristine golf guides have difficult packed sand. I should admit, I was at a loss while it got here to extracting my golfing ball safely (and inside the least range of strokes) from both greenside and fairway bunkers....And, I turned into racking up the photographs.
These are not your ordinary bunker shots and I can wager that those are not photographs that we usually exercise so I even have enlisted the advice of several coaching experts to offer us the "bounce" with reference to hardpan.
Mel Sole, a local legend (and teaching professional) in the Myrtle Beach area says to reach for a different club when escaping hard-packed bunker sand. "You definitely don’t want to use a sand wedge…or lob wedge," says Sole.
A sand wedge gives you too much soar and is designed that will help you via fluffier sand. Mel alternatively indicates the use of a pitching wedge or nine-iron and to alternate your everyday approach.
"Address the ball as you will a ordinary bunker shot. Instead of cocking the wrists early in the swing as you would usually do, have less wrist cock and a shallower arc on the backswing, taking simply a skinny sliver of sand. Still hit approximately two inches in the back of the ball and preserve [your hands] ?Below? So that the membership won't dig."

Instructor Jim McLean shows a change in technique for a greenside bunker mission.
"Think, Steeper, shorter and smooth."
Don't open the clubface (preserve the face rectangular), regulate your stance to be to your front foot (lean towards the target), take the club back steeply and hit one-inch behind the ball.
That's it! Easy-peasy recommendation...Now, it is off to discover a wet bunker and exercise!
