Fairway Bunker Strike

20+ min Coach-led Mid-Iron, Alignment Stick, Tees

Setup

Coach draws a line level with the ball and sets alignment. Use a 7–8 iron.

Drill Instructions

Make three-quarter swings focusing on brushing the sand after the ball, not before. Keep lower body quiet and grip firmer to stabilize. Coach checks low point and launch windows.

Goal

7/10 solid contacts advancing past target distance with consistent trajectory.

Make It Easier

Place ball slightly higher on a firm patch.

Coach Tip

Choke down and focus on a sweeping strike—don’t take sand first.

Make It Harder

Use a longer iron and add a carry target over a lip.

Avoid

Trying to lift the ball; maintain loft and speed.
