How do you become more consistent on your medium to long greenside bunker shots? Set up with a square stance with most of your weight forward and the ball off your front foot. Take the club straight up on your backswing and swing through in a fluid motion. The combination of the square stance and the smooth swing will result in a lower trajectory shot that places less spin on the ball. This will allow the ball to run out towards the pin without that pesky inconsistent spin.
Undoubtedly one of Pete Dye’s most superb designs, The Ocean Course
received worldwide attention as the host of the dramatic 1991 Ryder Cup Matches,
and the 2007 Senior PGA Championship. It will also host the 2012 PGA Championship.
Named by Golf Digest as "America’s Toughest Resort Course,"
this 7,356-yard course offers spectacular views
along two and one half miles of Atlantic Ocean. The superbly manicured fairways
and greens challenge professionals and amateurs alike. The Ocean Course is one
of only 17 "5-star" courses in North America in Golf Digest’s
"Best Places to Play" readers' poll and it is ranked No. 3 in GOLF magazine's "Top 100 Courses You Can Play". An elegant new clubhouse is the capstone of an unforgettable golf experience.
