The Bunker Shot
Most people are "afraid" of bunker shots. But this kind
of shot is one of the easiest shot in golf (only if the ball sits nicely on the top of the sand).
Remember that the rule number one in the bunker is
always to get the ball out on your first attempt. To do so you need a good technique and the right club. The
Correct club is a sand wedge, specially designed to
make bunker play easy. It was invented by Gene Sarazen in 1931, who soldered lead on the bottom of his pitching wedge, or what was then known as a "niblick", so its leading edge wouldn´t dig into the
sand. So effective was his invention that he kept a towel over his bag to prevent his opponents from copying his "secret weapon".
