Natural Golf Sand Shots

Use lob wedge unless over 20 yards away. Very easy to get ball out of the sand with a lob wedge.

Aim about 2 inches behind the ball with club face open.

Backswing: with hands to hips for 10 yards or less; chest for 15 to 20 yards. Use 56 wedge if over 20 yards.

Open stance; slightly more than for pitching and chipping. Aim far left of target, about 10 feet.

Pivot wrists on backswing. Wristcock is key to getting club into the sand at the correct angle.

Finish with hands in front of body. Need to accelerate through the shot.
