How to Hit a Standard Bunker Shot

Ball position is crucial when hitting out of the bunker.  You probably already know you should be hitting one inch behind the ball, but you may not know the best way to line up for this standard shot.  Watch as I demonstrate.

I watched this video yesterday at work - bunker shots are by far the weakest part of my game, and I figured it couldn't hurt to get yet another tip!  So yesterday evening I went out and played - had a horrible round going and then found myself in a greenside bunker (about 15 yards short of the green).  I felt like throwing it out, but I went in, set up to the ball, and wondered where the heck it was going to go this time (thin over the green is my favorite)...but then I flashed back to this video - lined myself up with my club, opened the face, put my weight on my left leg and aimed for about an inch behind the ball - hit it...it bounced once, rolled about 8ft and amazingly it went in the hole for a birdie!  It was like a miracle!  Thanks for the tip!  Your biggest fan, Chipshot
