Things You Should Know before holding your golf club

Sure, here are some important things you should know before holding your golf club:

1.    Grip: The way you grip the club is crucial for a good swing. There are different types of grips, but the most common is the "Vardon" or "overlapping" grip. Make sure to position your hands correctly on the club, with the "V" formed by your thumb and index finger pointing towards your right shoulder (if you're right-handed).

2.    Stance: Your stance should be shoulder-width apart, with your feet slightly pointing outward. The ball should be positioned in the middle of your stance or slightly toward your left foot (if you're right-handed). Your weight should be evenly distributed on both feet.

3.    Posture: Good posture is essential for a good swing. Keep your back straight, with a slight bend forward at the waist. Your arms should be relaxed, and your knees slightly bent.

4.    Alignment: Before swinging, make sure you're aligned properly with the ball and your target. Your feet, hips, and shoulders should be parallel to the target line.

5.    Club selection: Choosing the right club for the shot is important. Consider factors such as distance, wind, and terrain to determine which club to use.

6.    Takeaway: The takeaway is the beginning of the swing, where you bring the club back. Keep your arms straight, and use your shoulders and hips to turn your body back. Your left arm (if you're right-handed) should be straight, and the club should be pointing toward the target.

7.    Backswing: The backswing is the continuation of the takeaway, where you bring the club up to the top of the swing. Keep your wrists firm, and maintain the triangle formed by your arms and shoulders.

8.    Downswing: The downswing is part of the swing where you bring the club down and through the ball. Use your hips to initiate the downswing, and keep your arms and wrists relaxed. Keep your head still and your eyes on the ball.

9.    Impact: At impact, make sure your clubface is square to the ball, and your weight is shifting towards your left foot (if you're right-handed).

10.Follow-through: The follow-through is the completion of the swing, where you continue the motion and let the club finish its natural path. Keep your balance and allow your body to rotate naturally.

Remember that golf is a challenging sport that requires practice and patience. Don't get discouraged if you don't see immediate improvement, and focus on building good habits and techniques over time.

Drills to Practice Short & High Bunker Shots: Mastering Precision and Control

One of the biggest challenges in golf is mastering bunker shots, especially short and high bunker shots that require finesse and accuracy. Drills designed to build consistency and confidence can make these shots less intimidating and more effective. Here are two highly effective drills—the "Splash" Drill and the Tee Drill for Club Path—that will help refine your technique and turn challenging bunker shots into scoring opportunities.

1. The “Splash” Drill

The Splash Drill is an essential practice technique that helps golfers understand the proper interaction between the club and the sand. This drill emphasizes developing a consistent entry point and mastering the depth of the swing, both of which are crucial for short, high bunker shots.

Purpose

To learn how to hit behind the ball and control the amount of sand displaced.

To create a repeatable and confident swing motion in bunkers.

Steps to Perform the Splash Drill

Draw a Line in the Sand

Start by drawing a straight line in the sand with the edge of your club. The line should be perpendicular to your target line.

This line represents your intended entry point into the sand—about 2–3 inches behind where the ball would sit.

Set Up in the Bunker

Adopt a proper bunker stance: open your stance slightly, position the ball (or imaginary ball) slightly forward in your stance, and keep your weight distributed slightly toward your front foot (around 60%).

Open the clubface to add loft and utilize the club’s bounce, allowing it to glide through the sand.

Swing to Splash the Sand

Take swings aiming to hit the sand directly on the line you’ve drawn.

The goal is to "splash" the sand forward without taking a deep divot. Let the bounce of the club skim through the sand.

Evaluate Your Contact

After each swing, check the line in the sand. Consistent swings will leave a shallow mark centered on the line.

If your mark is too deep or behind the line, adjust your swing to shallow out your angle of attack or move your stance forward.

Benefits of the Splash Drill

Builds muscle memory for the correct entry point into the sand.

Enhances feel and control over the club’s interaction with the sand.

Reduces the risk of hitting too much or too little sand, improving consistency in real bunker shots.

Pro Tip

Imagine you’re using the club to throw sand onto the green. This mental image ensures a smooth and shallow swing that splashes the sand without digging.

2. Tee Drill for Club Path

The Tee Drill is another excellent practice method that focuses on refining your swing path and ensuring the correct use of the club’s bounce. A proper swing path ensures consistent, high, and soft bunker shots.

Purpose

To train a consistent, shallow swing path that utilizes the club’s bounce.

To improve accuracy and avoid over-digging or hitting the ball cleanly.

Steps to Perform the Tee Drill

Set Up with a Tee in the Sand

Place a tee in the sand about an inch behind where you would normally position a ball for a bunker shot. The tee represents your target entry point into the sand.

Leave the top of the tee slightly exposed for visibility but ensure it is low enough to mimic the sand's surface.

Adopt the Correct Setup

Open your stance and position the imaginary ball slightly forward in your stance.

Open the clubface, as with the Splash Drill, and keep your weight favoring the lead foot.

Swing Through the Tee

Take swings aiming to skim the sand and graze the tee without displacing it too much. The goal is to use the club’s bounce to splash the sand forward while maintaining control over the swing path.

Focus on keeping the clubface open throughout the swing.

Assess Your Performance

If you move or break the tee, your swing path is likely too steep, or you’re hitting too far behind.

If you miss the tee entirely, you may need to shallow out your swing or adjust your stance to make better contact.

Benefits of the Tee Drill

Trains you to maintain a shallow, outside-in swing path.

Reinforces proper use of the club’s bounce, preventing digging into the sand.

Builds confidence in creating consistent sand interaction without the risk of over-swinging.

Pro Tip

Visualize the tee as a point in the sand where the club needs to skim smoothly. Practicing this repeatedly helps you stay disciplined in your swing path, even under pressure.

Drill Practice Tips

To maximize the effectiveness of these drills:

Combine Both Drills

Alternate between the Splash Drill and the Tee Drill in your practice sessions. This ensures you focus on both the depth of contact and the swing path.

Practice Without a Ball First

Remove the pressure of hitting the ball by practicing with just the sand and tee. Focus solely on the mechanics of your swing.

Gradually Introduce a Ball

Once you’ve mastered consistent sand interaction with the drills, add a ball and aim for the same contact points.

Simulate Course Conditions

Practice in bunkers with varying sand textures to build adaptability. Fine-tune your swing for both soft and firm sand.

Conclusion

The Splash Drill and the Tee Drill are essential tools for mastering short and high bunker shots. These drills help you develop a consistent swing path, ensure the correct use of the club’s bounce, and build confidence in your ability to escape bunkers effectively. Incorporating them into your practice routine will elevate your bunker play, turning one of golf’s most intimidating challenges into an opportunity to save strokes and improve your overall game.
