In this first of three video golf tips, Brain Kautz, PGA Director of Golf at Shanty Creek Resort, a Michigan golf resort, makes it look very easy to get your ball out of a bunker. Greenside bunker shots can have golfers thinking of tossing their clubs in the next pond, but Kautz displays the proper golf stance, explains where your weight should be applied, talks about the steep angle needed and more. And then, picture perfect, Kautz pops the ball out of the bunker and onto the golf course green.
Stay tuned for two more golf videos: Swinging Over the Top and Hitting Down on the Golf Ball.
