So we asked former PGA Tour winner and renowned short-game coach Parker McLachlin, better known as the Short Game Chef, to find out what was going wrong. Parker quickly identified that Piers was bringing too much of his full-swing movement into the bunker. By changing his setup and giving him a simple drill to control where the club entered the sand, Parker helped Piers produce more consistent contact, height and control. In this bunker lesson, you’ll learn: - Why bunker shots require a very different approach from the full swing - How lateral movement can affect your strike in the sand - Why the club’s entry point is so important - A practical drill for developing more consistent bunker contact - How to create greater control and finesse around the greens If you struggle with thin bunker shots, heavy contact or leaving the ball in the sand, this lesson will help you understand what may be causing it.
