Tips For Better Golf —■ By Pro Don Byrd Wawasee Golf Course

There are two basic and distinct types of sand trap shots. Briefly, I will cover both types. NORMAL LIE (not buried) —- Here as in the photo you should play the ball off the'left heel with a slightly open stance, and have an open clubface, and have the hands forward. Plant the feet firmly in the sand, and use little body motion — only enough to allow the hands and arms to z move freely. The object of this shot is to swing outside-in and cut under the ball with the sole of the club striking the sand first, which will pop the ball into the air and drop the ball dead on the green. The average golfer is afraid of this shot and will often freeze and stop the clubhead at impact, A full follow through is a must for this shot, for sand greatly reduces any power you might have. Distance is controlled by the distance you strike behind the ball. If you strike an inch behind the ball, you will get so much distance — if you strike two, or even three inches behind the ball you will naturally get proportionately less distance. This is one shot you don’t keep your eye on the ball. Instead you should focus on the spot behind the ball where you want the clubhead to strike the sand. This takes mental discipline and a great deal of concentration, but this goes along with the game of golf. BURIED BALL — Here you should play the ball in the center of your feet, with a slightly open stance, and have clubface square or slightly closed, with your feet planted firmly in the sand. This shot always comes out with top spin, in contrast to the normal trap shot which has backspin. The distance the ball carries in the air is determined by the distance you strike behind the ball, but you

SAND TRAP SHOTS must allow for a great deal more roll after the ball hits the green when blasting a buried ball from the trap. Don’t try to pick or cut the ball up — let the force of the sand blast the ball out. Because you are striking more of a descending blow in this shot, your follow through won’t be as great as for normal trap shots, for much of the power is expended as the clubhead drives downward and deeper into the sand. Still an effort must be made to follow through and finish the shot as much as possible.
