Bunker tips from Amy Boulden
Amy Boulden shows you have to play a confident shot when facing a downhill lie in a bunker.
Once she takes her stance Amy says that the most important part is staying with the shot. If you don’t, it means you will come back on the ball and take too much sand during impact. Amy also says that it is important to have enough loft on your club to make sure that you get enough height to clear the lip of the bunker.
