Having Sand Trouble? Make Your Own Bunker Board

Stephanie Molloy from the Wee Burn Country Club demonstrates how to practice great sand technique using your own bunker board.

Sand Trouble - Build a Bunker Board - Womens Golf

The purpose of a bunker board is to help you correctly use the bounce of your golf club when you are in the sand. The correct shot is indicated by the paint showing on the trailing edge of your clubhead rather than the leading edge.

Once the bunker board is in place, set up like a clock in the bunker. Your target is 12 o’clock, your clubface at 2 o’clock, and your feet at 10 o’clock creating an open stance with your feet and your club face.

From here, make your swing more of a “U” shaped swing compared to a “V” shape, and you’re away.

Enjoy!

I just joined , maybe a week ago. LOVE IT. Love all the lessons and that you can search for. You can search specific topics and pull up several lessons.

I don’t know what I would do without your site - it has been so beneficial to improving my game!

The advantage over other lesson websites are the member groups: the lesson one for a quick lesson or two and the fun of feeling connected to female golfers around the world through the social group.

I have improved my game greatly with your lessons online. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to play better golf! Thank you for a great website!

A Great New Lesson Posted Every Day!

Hi Jane, just wanted to say hi and let you know how much I enjoy and have learned from this site. I always talk about how informative this site is with the girls in my golf group.

In the last 30 days there have been 264 posts and 1243 comments.

I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE the little lesson/tip snippets (side hill lie, and out-to-in slice fix were both awesome). They are so so helpful!

30 New Lessons Available for Members in the last Month

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!

I am really impressed with Women's Golf and couldn't be more pleased with my membership and all of the great resources I can access.

Thank you for such a wonderful resource! I just joined and am so thankful for you and the other women golfers in this community.

I just wanted to pop on and tell you how grateful I am that you have a lesson on the scorecard and handicap! I am really enjoying your website and the facebook social group.
