EDITED BY RON KASPRISKE
“Your toes are in the sand, but the mistake is to get in a bunker mind-set. From this lie, don’t dig in. Stay light on your feet and keep your weight 50-50. Finally, don’t hit down on the ball so much. Try to ‘sweep it out.’ That’s how you park one on the green from a fairway bunker.” –JASON BIRNBAUM, One of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in New York, Manhattan Woods GC, West Nyack
