hello
Any tips on stopping me shifting my weight to the right in the takeway rick keeps making me shank my longer irons😭
I generally pick the ball up and throw it into the green lol 😂 I’m new to golf and this is a shot I am gonna need to work on. Luckily I am not currently keeping score because I enjoy the game more and don’t get easily frustrated with each stroke. Getting a lot of good tips from your videos is helping a lot as well. Keep them coming.
I am having my 1st bunker lesson on Monday. No wait. It will be my 2nd lesson because YOU just presented my 1st one!
I love it your video seyho
Rick, you won’t believe what happened today. I am a beginner golfer and have only been playing about 6 months. My game is coming along thanks to your videos. One area I have really been struggling with is sand. It has literally been killing my game. I fear the sand because I am losing 3-4 strokes in every bunker
I watched this video a few times last night. I went out this morning to play the back nine and I hit two shots during the round that landed in the sand. I was careful to follow the instructions you provided. I adjusted my grip to open the club face, I adjusted my stance slightly left, I set my feet wide and wiggled my feet in, I got low in my stance and I swung down and with a full follow through. Both shots cleared the sand, cleared the gap and landed within 10’ of the hole. Unbelievable! I was playing with much better golfers and they were struggling in the sand. They asked me where I learned to hit out of the sand. I gave you full credit. Thank you!!
As a new golfer, this was a great help, cheers!
Just want to say your edit game is on point. Videos have been looking so good this year.
Now it makes sense! Thank you! I hesitate with my follow throw in the bunker all of the time.
I'm gonna be using these tips today at Kaiser golf course, Austin Texas.
thanks
Thanks for the tips.. I never learnt how to play a bunker shot.. It opened my eyes.. I was definitely playing it wrongly
Sand is my nemesis. I live on the Oregon coast, dunes everywhere. Thank you for the help.
Excellent video very basic simple instructions easy to understand I can't wait to use his tips.
Will put this into practice tomorrow. I much prefer these brief factual videos.
Yet another dumb instruction telling you to hit fat in the sand first instead of hitting the ball first when it's NOT buried (fried egg) and sitting up nicely. No wonder weekend hackers can't hit out of the bunkers. It's because they follow ludicrous asinine instructions like this video to use the hardest way possible to hit the ball out of the sand. HIT THE DAMN BALL FIRST like a regular uphill pitch or chip shot from the fairway!
Keyser Soze no chance at all. That only works in really bare or wet bunkers where there isn’t enough sad or it’s not soft enough. Using your technique you will 90% of the time thin it as rarely will be perfectly sat on top of the sand. And then you will also lose a lot of loft, meaning if you even manage to get it up out of the bunker it will run on way too far. Now I wonder why all the pros don’t use your technique🤔🤔
@Richard Thomas.
"No chance" my ass! More often than not, a ball will ROLL into the bunker or take a low bounce into it so it won't be buried up to its equator like it would when dropped directly from high altitude. I'd say 60% or more of my bunker shots are NOT from a buried lie. A ball that slightly sits down less than 1/4 inch in the sand does not count as buried because you can easily make clean contact well below its equator. And what about fairway bunkers? How the hell are you gonna advance the ball 150-200 yards if you have to hit 2 inches fat into the sand first instead of hitting the ball first? My method WORKS, end of story!
Keyser Soze nope
@@Key5ser5oze you are dumb as fuck.
I'm a complete novice ,and I must say your RUclips tuition has inspired me no end . Fantastic easy to follow instruction that really works ! I was about to give up altogether ,but now I'm gaining confidence all the time . I've watched other videos but I find your approach the best !
Great video, Rick! I searched for this after having an absolute nightmare on Tuesday when I got stuck in a bunker, and eventually gave up trying to get out! Two days later, I found 3 bunkers during my round, but managed to get out of each one first time. Thank you!
VGood tip, Rick. Do you have any other tips for getting out of cross bunkers? Thanks !!
I know this is an older video but I pulled it up as I was struggling in a practice bunker and immediately had results. Rick, you're the man!
in a three day tournament and looking forward to testing this!!!
I struggle with my bunker play and needed your help and you delivered. Thanks Rick.
Great vid Rick. What about wet sand bunker shots?
Rick
your approach shot execution of armpits close to body and just turn body and arms remain passive & turning torso back & through is great. What is the execution technique please for bunker shots?

Rick Shiels Golf I don’t have anything special but I do have older Wilson staff sand wedge(60 degree) and a Wilson 56 degree wedge.
Hi Rick, great vid. King Pur Versatile 58 or 54.
woooooooooo first 1k
I needed this .... let see if it works next round.
Came across your videos by coincidence while searching golf tips on RUclips. I find that they are very educational and very clear. They have helped me greatly in correcting several little problems. I will certainly continue to search for your videos to help me improve my game.
I would like tips on how to get out of bunkers on a city course that are mostly mud and rocks. And haven’t been raked in months.
Artificial hazard - take a free drop ;)
Just pick up your ball and drop it behind the bunker facing the pin. Bunkers in those condition require a free drop.
Use the putter
Agreed with RaFF, how steep is the lip? If it isn't too bad, the ole putter ramp.
just join a country club!
good job Rick, always a pleasure listening to you and the advice 💪
excellent info on stance, position, loft and follow-through............a card saver!
these vids have helped me sort my game so much. gone from 130 per round down in to the 90s and still improving.
I've been watching many of your videos over the past 6 months, and your tips have really helped improve my game. I appreciate you keeping the tips simple and on point. Thanks for all your great advice!
Great info in the video. For greenside bunker shots, i use my 58 degree wedge. I carry Mizuno wedges in 50, 54, and 58 degree lofts. My PW is a part of my Hogan Edge set and is 46 degrees.
You are my favourite person on RUclips, I’m fairly new to golf.. I’m now hitting in the 90’s after 20 rounds of golf. It’s not impressive but bit by bit it’s coming down and down. Thank you
Hey Rick, I watched this video last week, Ive had alot of trouble getting out of bunkers. Ended up in the bunkers on three occasions today, got out firt try each time! cheers
reinforced great tips for me, Rick. thanks again for helping all us golfers mate!
thanks again Rick. I learn olso your hands for the bal. not like chipping. for my distance is difficult.
Simple and efficient instruction, thanks Rick !
Love these short precise instructional videos. Sometimes I don’t have time to watch 15 minute videos. Well done
Great video! I use to struggle out of bunkers before I changed to lob wedge. Now get out first shot most of the time
I am a beginner and this video has been very helpful. I look forward to trying your tips out on my next round.
Excellent video. I’m working on bunker play at the moment and I’m positive this video will really help.
Also, for what it’s worth I like the transparency of having your endorsements clear at the end of the video.
Thanks for the tips. Bunker shots are one of my favourite shots. You have helped my game so much.
I use a 64* wedge. To look behind the ball where I want to hit, is a great tip/reminder! Thanks from Australia
Watched this last night and used the lesson three times today. It was magic! Even from deep insidd a steep greenside bunker! Used my 64 degree wedge.
Thanks Rick......this is really good advice....i shall try these tips next time i play.
Im terrible out of the bunker and this makes it much more simple and focuses my thoughts on what to do if, and when, I get into a greenside bunker.
Struggled with a few deep green-side bunkers lately, and you're absolutely right, they can completely ruin a round! Really appreciate these tips Rick, can't wait to put them to use the next time I find myself in one! 👍
I have 52°, 56°, 58° and 60° wedges, so the tip to use my 60° is one I've never thought of. Keen to try these tips. Top man.
Find your videos extremely helpful….thank you for taking the time to do this.
I watched this video 3 weeks ago. Not a bad player, single-digit handicap but still, struggle with Bunker play, especially greenside. The Wider stance and focusing at the spot behind the ball where you want the club to enter the sand really helps especially with confidence and keeping the club moving. I've had some success in the bunker after watching this video thanks Rick.
Lovely simple teaching.
Hey Rick thanks for the tips. I love playing greenside bunkers but don't like fairway bunkers. Looking forward to learning the best way to do it.
Great videos. Short too the point and very helpful! Thank you for helping my game!
I love love love Rick’s easy to follow instructions! Earlier this season I started playing (probably my 50th round total, I’m almost 60) after joining a wonderful club. People say the course is brutally difficult. Round #1 was a 115. Yesterday I played round #15 of the year and would have shot an 80 was it not for the snowman on #17. But I will take an 84 and hopefully keep improving.
Very nice illustration, nice and simple. I will work on it!
Will heavy sand change vs a powder sand?
Without a doubt the best channel for tips and tricks, thanks Rick!
These tips make so much sense, I’ve always been good at getting out but this will make me a lot better
Nice and succinct. I will be saving this one and watching again and again. I’ve had my ball too far back! Let’s have one on fairway bunkers.
Hitting behind the ball is key. Thanks for the tips!
Awesome lesson! What do we do if the hole close to the bunker? Are we supposed to dig in the sand further down?
Rick, enjoyed your bunker video very informative. My question is should the swing be steep or shallow...thank you
Titleist Vokey SM6, 54 and 59 degrees. Thanks for the tips Rick
Great tips. Added more loft and attacked 3in back of ball all out and good position Cheers
Golf is very new to me. Had my 1st 18 holes last Wednesday and bunkers are horrid! I’ll try these tips today no doubt on my 2nd round!
Great Video Rick. My golf game is a night and day difference after your tutoials. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks Rick. Great tips mate, I really enjoy your videos, very helpful.
another great video, Rick. i normally use my 56° Vokey for "normal" bunker shots. if it's a steep face, or if i'm short-sided, i may go with my 60° Vokey...
These short instructional vlogs are great - many thanks
Nice video Rick. I use titleist vokey 58° for bunker shots
Awesome tip! I’ve always connected at the ball as opposed to behind it. I will definitely give this a try!
Perfect timing on the release of this vid Rick. With GCAmTour Nationals around the corner been looking for something to work on to play my best when the tournament starts.
Great tips, especially regarding hitting closer with harder sand. This is something I have struggled with for a while when trying to hit 2-3 inches behind the ball and coming through without enough speed.
Hopefully this will help. My sand game has been terrible lately. Thanks!!!
Great tutorial it will help me for sure! I would love to see a video of how to hit your full shot wedges. This is what i often struggle with when I am somewhere around 100 yards to the pin and I feel scared of me missing the green from the fareway where it should be an easy shot.
Makes alot of sense...going out to practice and thanks!
Hi Rick, can you please provide more detail, instruction & tips on how to hit out of firmly packed sand bunkers? Like the ones we find after a heavy or prolonged rain shower. The 6 second tip offered @ 3:34, unfortunately, wasn't quite enough. Thanks.
I recently won the Vokey SM7 wedge and I went with the 60 degree wedge. That is now my go to wedge around the green side bunkers. I have only left one in the bunker since I got the wedge but I know that using these tips, I should feel more confident about getting it out and closer to the hole
Excellent. Very helpful. I have no problems with bunkers anymore
Thank you, can't wait to try
Clear and crisp, very helpful
Great golfing tip Rick, learning a bit each day.
Great video and I’ll practice these tips tomorrow!
Great information Rick. Thanks.
After receiving so many conflicting ways on how to get out of a bunker from my golf buddies, relieved to say that after watching this that I'll now feel a lot more confident.
Not saying that I will be looking forward to going into a bunker, but hopefully I can not only get out in one, but stop the ball close to the pin. Another great video to put into practise out on the course.
I love this style of video, quick and to the point. I’ll be working on this tomorrow at the local practice facility. I often take 2-3 strokes in a bunker, and have zero confidence out of the sand around the green.
Enjoyed the video. Can you make a video on how to get out of the fairway bunkers? Would love to see a video on that please. Thanks Rick.
I use and MD2 56 deg and MD3 60 deg but always lack confidence in bunkers. Will practice these tips next Saturday and see how I go. Thanks Rick.
Good summary. How about distance control out of bunkers. Is it just practice and feel?
Great tips. It helped me with a student. Thanks!
Like his words on Bunker with his accent sounds. Also a good tip on Bunker shot I used a 56 but we'll try to use a 60 open. AZ Mesa
Great video especially how to hit out of soft to firm sand. Most teach to hit behind ball same distance regardless of sand.
Brilliant tips spent an hour in the bunker last night practicing, so confident now cheers fella! 👌
Thank you, Rick. Merry Christmas.
Great video! I’m a 1 handicap but I have so much trouble on short bunker shots. What’s the technique difference?
I learned the proper stance by watching your video. Thanks RS
Thanks for more great instruction
Nice tips Rick. Because I can go weeks and sometimes months without going into a Bunker, whenever I do end up in one it`s always a struggle to remember the Bunker shot that I need to play.
Another great tips video. It's quick, straight to point and very useful. Thank you
Very good tips again Rick.
One of the key factors that I think that helps to get out of bunkers is having Confidence in your swing and club choice, which comes with practice
Best tips on this platform. Keep it up champ
Fantastic work as always thank you
Rick have you heard of the C3i wedge?, I have one, 65 degree..It is awesome to get out of green side bunkers.
Awesome video Rick could do with a video on different lie positions uphill downhill and yes the fairway bunkers I don't need help with bunkers myself it's my best and most drilled part of my game I spent a lot of time in them when I first started and was getting stupidly high scores so I made it a mission to get better at them now I can get out with a good result almost 100% of the time
You vids have helped me drop 4 shots in the past 2 months. Thx.
56 and 60 Cleveland 900 series, but looking to upgrade soon. This was super helpful. Don’t find myself in sand all that much, but panic when I do.
