Know your rules: Bunkers

Playing out of the sand is tricky enough without complicated rules getting in the way. Fortunately, golf’s hierarchy rewrote the rule book (literally) and from January this year we've been able to do a few things in the sand that we never could before.

So, what are these new-fangled rules and what do you still need to watch out for in order to avoid a penalty?

What you CAN do:

Touch or move loose impediments in a bunker (local rule previously)
Touch the sand with your hand away from the ball
Ground the club in the sand away from the ball as long as you're not testing the sand

What you CAN’T do:

Deliberately touch the sand to test its condition
Ground the club next to the ball when playing the shot
Touch the sand on a practice swing
Touch the sand when making your backswing

Hands up...

...if the only time you 'practice' your wedge play is when you hit a few shots at the start of your warm-up routine? Sadly, this isn't going to lead to a dialled in wedge game, which is one of the fastest ways to see your scores come tumbling down.

1 club. 3 swings. 3 distances.

Sounds easy, right? Well, it could be but first there are two things you must do in order to start saving shots.

1. Correctly gapped wedge system - What we mean by this is having an equal gap between each club in your bag, so you're never left trying to 'manufacture' a shot on the golf course (this is where large numbers start). Vokey's SM7 wedges are perfect for exactly this reason, coming in a range of lofts from 46 (PW) to 62 (LW) degrees so you have every distance covered with your wedges.

2. Have 3 distances with each club - As per the graphic above, if you became comfortable with full, three-quarter and half swings with each of your wedges, you’ll find that your wedge play becomes seriously more effective.

So now you know the secrets to lower scores, it’s time to utilise our expertise and professional advice in order to start unlocking your full potential with your wedge play. Come and speak to a member of the team next time you're at the club.
