 100 yard Sand Shot

       This doesn’t have to be the hardest shot in golf.  Make sure you dig your feet in a bit to get a good solid stance.  This now means you are closer to the ball so you will have to choke down on your club approx 1 inch.  When making your club selection choose the club for the distance, do not club up. You will be hitting the ball first in the shot,  not the sand. When making your swing you want to keep your lower body as still as possible, meaning swing more with your arms and shoulders in the back swing. We do this so we do not move around to much during the swing which makes it easier to hit the ball first.  Focus in on the ball and make a full swing, pretend you are hitting it off of the cart path and you cant hit behind the ball, keep your knees flexed and hit through the shot. Don’t swing hard.  Have fun in the sand.
