Golf Tip from the Pro


Buried Lies

Here are a few tips when your ball is buried in a lie in the sand:

1) Toe the face of the club into 10:00 o'clock for a right handed player and 2:00 o'clock for a left handed player, this will help dig the ball out of the sand
2) Play the ball in the center of your stance
3) Aim the club at your target
4) Hinge the club up quickly to a half to three quarter back swing
5) Hit the ball firmly and drive the ball into the sand
6) Because the face will square up, you will get a soft shot out of the sand that will roll out
7) Be sure to use your highest lofted wedge
8) The longer the follow thru the more the ball will roll
9) IF ALL ELSE FAILS, PICK THE BALL UP AND TOSS IT ON TO THE GREEN - HA HA :)

See you on the range,
