Fairway Bunker

Fairway bunker shots require clean ball-first contact with limited lower body movement. A different skill from greenside bunkers.

20 min
10 balls

Protocol

  1. Set up in a fairway bunker (or simulate from a range bunker with a mid-iron).
  2. Choke down 1 inch, ball slightly back of center.
  3. Hit 10 shots focusing on clean contact — ball first, then sand.
  4. Score: 3 = clean contact + target line, 2 = clean contact but off-line, 1 = slightly fat but playable, 0 = chunk.
