Hj Ahoi’s drive at hole 12 Santubong plops down in a bunker 110 yards to the green. Even if you're a great bunker player like Osman Sadiah, your normal bunker shot won't work here. But making a few adjustments to your normal shot helps. Below are five keys to executing fairway bunker shots: (1) Square your clubface; (2) Narrow your stance; (3) Use extra body; (4) Employ a full finish; (5) Keep your heel down
First, set your clubface slightly open at address. But square it through impact like you do with your normal shot. Now pull your feet in closer and just barely dig them into the pasir. This move produces a shallower divot and gets the club and the ball moving faster down the target line.
Also, when you swing, turn through the shot, just like you would with a normal iron shot. You'll need extra body with this shot, so keep everything moving—body, arms, and club—to a full finish. And keep your back heel down. You won't have a solid stance with this shot, so keeping your back heel down helps stability. And don't try pivoting on your back heel, either. You'll lose your balance...Use your 9-iron instead of your sand wedge on longer bunker shots. Make the adjustments suggested above. And swing away. The adjustments, combined with extra body behind the ball, will land you on the green and leave you in position to complete the up and down.
