GETTING OUT OF THE SANDHello there fellow golfers. Welcome back to Green In Regulation. In my last blog I was at Stanley Golf Course here in New Britain, I wanted to go back to Stanley and give you a little more information on the course. Now a big part of any golf course is the bunkers. You have fairway bunkers and yo
u have green side bunkers. Both can be very difficult to deal with, but if you have the right stance and take the right swing g
oing into a bunker shouldn’t be scary for you any longer. Many amateur golfers despise bunkers, it’s always a drag when you hit your ball into one, because you have the mind set of never being able to get out. Hitting a shot out of a bunker is very different then hitting off the fairway (which is where you would rather be). At Stanley there is a total of 64 bunkers, which is a fairly large amount, so the chances of you hitting into one are high. 
When approaching a sand shot there are a few things you should be thinking about. 1. Hit atleast 1 inch behind the ball so the sand carries the ball out of the bunker for you. 2. Have the ball in the back of your stance. 3.
Keep your hands ahead of your club when taking the swing.
Remember hit them long and hit them straight. No longer be afraid of the sand.
