Master those fairway bunker shots

The fairway bunker shot is a tool that we could all use out there.

FAIRWAY bunker recovery is a shot that most amateurs seldom practice, mainly due to a lack of facilities to do so. However, if you can master it, it will save you many strokes and lower your scores.

On occasion you may have to wedge out sideways if faced with a steep lip, but most fairway bunkers – particularly away from links courses – are now shallow enough to allow you to have a go at the green.
