Symptom: You fear the sand. You would rather be anywhere but in the bunker. You have no idea how some people always seem to get out of the bunker so easily...
Overview: Focus on making a high finish as you follow through on your explosion shot out of the bunker.
Why it works: You are probably leaving the ball in the sand because your motion is not aggressive enough through the hitting zone. On an explosion shot from the greenside bunker, you have to smack the sand pretty hard to make the ball come out! When you do, you will put sand on the green too!
A handy visualization that works on the golf course is to focus on the finish, and make sure you end up with your belt buckle facing the target. Rehearse this a few times before you play your bunker shot. Visualize the sort of swing you will need to make in order to have a high finish with your explosion shot. I guarantee you will be better off for it!
So don't stick your clubhead in the sand and leave it there like an ostrich! Keep it moving! And please don't try to play the perfect bunker shot -- the most important thing about a sand shot is that your next shot be struck with your putter.
