Bunker Practice Questions
How often should I practice bunker shots?
Even once or twice a week for 20 minutes makes a huge difference. Consistency matters more than duration. Track every session to ensure progress.
What's a good sand save percentage to target?
Average amateurs save 20-30% from sand. Good players save 40-50%. Scratch golfers save 55-60%. Tour players save 60%+. Set realistic goals based on your level.
Should I practice different types of lies?
Yes! Start with normal lies, then add plugged balls, uphill/downhill lies, and long bunker shots. Versatility builds confidence for any situation.
How many shots should I hit per practice session?
The drill recommends 10 shots minimum. This gives you enough data to track proximity and identify patterns without exhausting yourself.
