How to Pitch the Golf Ball over a Bunker

  • Contact/email: matt@golfsidekick.com for collaboration/partnership opportunities DOMINATION LIFE COACHING: Commit to something. It doesn't have to be the pin. Commit to some part of the green and eliminate the bunker form your mind by going over the least carry or over an area where there is no bunker between you and the ball.
    COMMIT. That's the message today. Sometimes we don't always GO FOR IT at the pin. The wisest among us know we sometimes have to go bass fishing til we find a salmon. Then when we find a salmon, we hold onto it. Better to have a bass than to have no fish and be on the beach trying to get out of a hole you dug yourself. Go to the bass, and be happy with the bass.

    No BS technique here or fancy pro-level flop shot nonsense. Just take the stress out of the shot and build your confidence. Remove the pin FROM YOUR MIND if it's too tight to hit to. Hit on ON THE GREEN. Your proximity to the hole after the shot will improve as you gain confidence and learn how to play in onto the green. Eliminate the carry if you can by aiming away from the bunker, or be happy if you can finish 15-20 feet past the pin. The bunker will vanish fro your mind and you will become the man you were meant to be. DOMINATION - reduce stress, reduce strokes. Save a life. Send the check.

    I really LOVED it when your assistant or helper came running across, stopped, and posed before running to the flag/ hole? LOL! Thanks for finally doing a video about hitting over bunkers near the green because this is a major killer in my game. Unfortunately I don't have a 54 degree club so I guess use the correct club based on the lie? My shots are basically on barren areas over a bunker.

    Finally played my first 9 of the year today. Hit some good shots and some bad shots. Managed my round the whole way though and had a great time. I don't get to practice much, but just learning your course management techniques has already had a positive impact on my game. The wind was really tough today and contributed to a few poufies, but hey, it's better than being stuck inside!

    I have learned to eliminate the rinky dink and binky bonk by not giving myself enough time to allow them to rise in my mind. Stand behind ball, see the shot, address the ball, (no more practice swings) and hit all within 5 seconds. Success, guaranteed!

    This is so right. I sometimes get the yips over difficult chips. I shouldn't worry too much about getting it close to the pin because I'm a decent putter, but i sometimes forget. GET IT ON THE GREEN STUPID should be my moto. Maybe i should get this tattooed on my arm. 🤨

  • @jackkinoff6943
    @jackkinoff6943 3 года назад

    The most frustrating part about this video is how good the practice facilities are at the course you are on
    That is a great set up to practice at
    My course we got a putting green and a bit of grass around it but you can't really get any aerial action happening as you are surrounded by cars in the car park
    It is almost an afterthought the idea of providing practice facilities for golfers at most courses

    Had this exact shot on Saturday. Went right at the pin and chunked a chip into the bunker. Due to covid restrictions we are supposed to play them as ground under repair so I pulled it back out and as I took my stance I heard Matt’s voice in my ears “just get it on the green man!”

    Maybe I'm wrong but I believe a clean wedge face is more important than clean grooves. It's the face that spins the ball; not the grooves.

    • @GolfSidekick
      @GolfSidekick  4 года назад

      I just got a new wedge and threw my 58 degree in the lake. It was so worn out, that the ball never spun. It's probably a combination of dry clubface, deep grooves, and clean of debris

    Very difficult to even focus on the pin when your sister roams the green in full view of the target as well as the camera. With this in mind, said sister should become the initial target with a much less lofted club. Possibly a Driver. Then, by eliminating her, you now have a clear path to the primary target, (the pin) and can now focus on its elimination from your mind, rather than her (said sister) romping about as if she is the primary focus. (Eliminate Sister + Eliminate Pin = Focus on Target). Or something like that. Anyway, even a 20+ handicap crapping his pants knows this! 😁❤⛳🏌️‍♂️
