Reminders on bunker play and putting

 A few points to keep in mind when it comes to bunker play, many golfers are defeated before they attempt a sand shot because they fear them. Make bunkers your friend, not an enemy. With proper technique and practice, you will enjoy being in the sand instead of heavy rough.
When in a bunker you must:
establish firm footing
take open stance
open the clubface
weight distributed more to the left side
swing the club back and through the same distance
hit the sand 2 inches behind the ball
don’t let the clubface close
accelerate through the ball
Remember: Sand is your ally, not your foe.

Here are some reminders when putting. If you have ever watched golf on TV, you have seen many different putting styles. If you have seen Mike Hulbert, you have even seen one-handed putting. The point is to do whatever feels comfortable and enables you to get the ball in the hole consistently. However, there are some fundamentals that will help you to consistently putt well:
eye over the ball
set the putter square to the target
keep body motion limited
accelerate through the ball
be comfortable
hit the ball in the sweet spot of the putter.
To be a good putter you must feel you can putt. Be confident. Negative thoughts will hurt your putting.
