Hello.
I/m Brian Fitzgerald The Golf Doctor.
And today I'm going to show you a way you
can practice your bunker shots at a golf range.
No sand required at all.
You can do it indoors.
You can do it in the back yard you can do
it at the golf range.So if you are interested
in this stay tuned.

So if this is your first time to this channel.
Welcome.
This channel is all about helping you play
better golf.
Now here we are.
It's going to rain in the next few minutes.
I was planning to get out on to our bunker
and do a bunker video.
And I thought this was the perfect time not
to do a bunker video in a bunker.
Because let's face it not everyone has access
to a bunker.
So today I am going to teach you how to get
out of a bunker using a towel.
Really easy simple little golf drill that
we can do.
So we just get the towel.
I have folded it in half.
And the towel works a bit like sand.
So that when I come down and hit into that
sand into the towel.
It's bunching up.
Bunching up feels like sand.
And remember the bunker shot is the only shot
in golf where we don't want the club to touch
the ball.
You want there to be a cushion of sand between
the clubface and the ball.
So with this towel.
I want there to be a cushion of towel between
the club face and the ball.
So it's a pretty grotty towel.
It's one I grabbed out of the shop.
So I just put the ball the towel down on the
ground.
I put the ball slightly forward of center.
I keep my nose slightly in front.
So from there all I am thinking of doing is
hitting down and hitting underneath the towel.
You can see I got some nice towel between
the club face and the ball.
The ball didn't go very far.
And that does really feel a lot like sand.
So I started doing this years ago.
When I was in the country and I had to do
a country golf clinic up near Ararat.
And I was there for the whole day And rather
than cancel the day due to rain.
We went into the members bar.
So someone asked me how to get out of a bunker
and I had my towel with me.
And that's how I came to use this.
So it is really good.It does feel exactly
the same as a bunker.
So once again we just fold it in half.
Put the ball slightly forward.
We want our nose to be slightly forward.
And we want to hit down underneath the ball
and there is your bunker shot.
Thank yo for letting me help you with golf.
