GOLF TIP / How to hit a high, soft bunker shot

Golf touring professional Kieren Pratt and Genesis Golf Link Cup tell us how how to hit a high, soft bunker shot.

The Genesis Golf Link Cup is a great competition running at the same time as the regular club comps. And it turns out they’ve got some fantastic clips on golf rules and golf tips in the video section on their website.

Like this one from Kieren Pratt that piqued our interest a few weeks ago on how to play a high, soft bunker shot. Possibly the most problematic shot to play among high handicappers. And not always that easy to play in poorly maintained bunkers.

We thought Kieren’s explanation is good and we’ve personally got a fair bit out of his description at the point of impact – “all of that speed and energy finishes in the sand”.
