For this week’s poll, we’re going to try something new: Giving a recap of a previous poll before moving on to the next one.
The first poll we posted was, What shot do you fear most? The verdict:
- The 50-yard bunker shot is the most feared shot — receiving 56% of the votes
Now we don’t want to leave you empty handed, so here are a few tips on dealing with the dreaded 50-yard bunker shot:
- Don’t hit your ball into the bunker — particularly the bunkers that are 50 yards from the green (the next three are serious)
- Use a sand or gap wedge
- Choke down slightly on the club
- Take out minimal sand
Remember that a 50-yard bunker shot is an extremely challenging shot. And the tips we offered are far from a complete lesson on hitting it. The tips simply provide a few things that might help you.
Moving on to the new poll. It seems that the days of the long irons are coming to an end. Hybrids are rapidly gaining popularity — and rightfully so. But there are still some — and likely always will be — that stay loyal to their long irons. So what about you? Vote below. And feel free to tell us more in the comments section.
