Debunking the Different types of Bunkers on the Golf Course

- There are various types of bunkers on the golf course. Depending on the lie of the ball and the situation, many of these shots are played differently. Knowing how to assess and determine the correct strategy can save you shots from the various situations in bunkers.
Join me In this video where I discuss fairway, waste, green side and pot bunkers and the various situations you can find in these sand traps. I even show you what Seve Ballesteros showed Sandy Lyle.
The Single Plane golf swing is not a quick fix golf technique. It is a system, beginning at address, that simplifies the most important moment of the golf swing - impact.
Starting at address on two planes where the arms hang straight down at address, the Conventional golf swing is complicated. Because the arms are hanging straight down, a conventional golfer must lift the body into impact creating stress on the back.
This upward movement to accommodate the two planes is unnecessary.
The Single Plane Golf swing simplifies the golf swing by eliminating the need for the upward movement by starting and impacting on the same plane.
You can find out more about the Single Plane swing in my best selling book, The Single Plane Golf Swing, Play Better Golf the Moe Norman Way.

Most useful bunker tuition I've ever seen, thank you so much ! Love the bit in the greenside bunker about adding loft via lowering the shaft.
Glad it helped!
excellent explanation. no one has ever explained (at least to me that i could understand) the lowering of the shaft thing. Todd - you have found your niche with this combination of single plane swing education and real work golf applications. much appreciated. more please.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting.
Tod, I am so bad at bunker play, i will use a putter whenever possible.... [ no joke] after watching this video i took some of your practical swing thoughts to the course... i hit 2 greens from fairway bunkers 135 and 150 yds away also made 2 greenside bunker shots within 4 ft... [ yes i made the puts ] your no nonsense approach has much to offer in improving my game... back to the practice range.... thanks again VINCE
Todd, met you at the Ok 3 day school back in August. Learned more at your school in 3 days about playing the game of golf than I've learned over the last 30 years. Your videos about the fundamentals of the game have changed my whole concept of the game. I love golf know where as before there was a love/hate relationship between golf and I. ...mike
Just listened to Bryson's Wednesday presser interview at this week's Shriner event. He said he'll likely use the 48 inch driver at the Masters, if he can get the mis-hits under control. He also said the speed numbers are MUCH higher than what he's already at with the 45 inch driver. As a side-note, Rory McIlroy has been working hard on his speed game, and recently posted ball speed numbers of 191 MPH, carry 350 yards!! Looks like Bryson is going to have some competition at the Masters, but Bryson has the distinct advantage of a SINGLE PLANE SWING, which I can attest is amazingly straight!!
Thanks Todd....always learn something from you.
Thanks for watching!
From the Driver to the sand wedge Graves golf got my game ready just like Freddy!!
Nicely done Todd👍
I remember the wedge shot where Fred would open the face from a short side grass lie and hit it off the toe like a lob shot and the ball would land so soft. Great vid Todd!
Great video Todd just what I needed to improve my game. Thanks!
You bet!
Very helpful - shaft angle was insightful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips on sand situations.
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice bunker tutorial!
Glad you like it!
masterclass. Thanks Todd.
Very welcome
When I master the single plane swing hopefully I will not hit it in the bunkers :)
This was a great lesson took away lots of fear of the sand Thanks
Glad it helped!
Thanks. Cool tip about stepping on the club face.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow I need this thanks!
You’re welcome 😊
Good tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent
Thanks
great stuff Todd. Thanks. Seems you're using a strong left arm grip for bunker play (not usual more neutral SPS grip) ?
Not at all. Same grip.
I purchased the sandy andy morning Norman sand wedge from you is the same process
Great videos Todd! I’ve made the move over to the single plane swing after years of not getting better and stalling out as a 10-12 handicapper. I ordered your training aid for feet alignment and ball placement and have watched a bunch of your videos. Tee shots have improved dramatically and my last round I hit 10-14 fairways, but iron play is still very inconsistent. I am struggling not hitting the ball with solid contact and I’ve lost distance on my irons. I’m ok with the distance loss if that correlates into more accuracy. Any advice for a 47 yr old that is really dedicated and practices a bunch and looking to get into the single digits? Thank man!
Scott
make sure you get the ball position correct for irons. Sometimes you can get too wide for irons.
Hello Todd, I've watched quite a few of your video's. I have a question that I have not seen addressed.... Weight placement throughout the swing? Can the single plane swing integrate into stack and tilt?
Ed
The Single Plane swing starts and impacts the club on the same plane of the club shaft. Stack and Tilt is a bit different position of the sidebend of the body throughout the swing. I am not sure if you can combine the two and be as efficient as following the biomechanical advantages of the Single Plane Golf swing positiions.
Been trying the new plane and it’s getting more and more consistent but when I miss it’s more hozzel or thinning, any advice on what I’m doing wrong? Great vid btw!!!
Bryce, the number 1 thing you can do to immediately improve your game is to buy a quality video camera and stand. Video every single practice session. I guarantee what usually takes years to improve, will be shortened to months or even weeks! Be sure to video both, behind you down the target line and face on every session. Then you can compare this to what Moe and Todd are doing. Hosel and thin shots are likely caused by "early hip extension", which is a very common flaw among amateurs. The other big one is rising up (losing spine angle) in the backswing, which puts the swing plane above where it was at address, making it very difficult to get back down to it in the downswing. The BEST way to really know is VIDEO!!
Master the address position which includes ball position and body position. It sounds like you are coming out of your side-bend (side tilt) int he downswing.
You mention hitting behind the ball an inch in the video to push a ball out with the help of the sand. . Your brother mentions 4" behind the ball in another bunker video. What differentiates the two distances
Todd.... I was having trouble with sand and I bought Moe’s Sandie Andie. Do you use that club different from a regular sand wedge . I still am having a problem getting out . Most the time I get no sand and fly the green . Help ! Should I go back to regular SW ??
I like the Sandy Andy but it is a completely different type of club for bunker shots. I will do a video about that club too!
Todd Graves I will look for it .
Hi Todd
I know your about 5ft8 tall, which is the same size as me, which is on the short end for standard clubs.
Do you use standard or -0.25 clubs?
Also you talked before about trying out putting grips in a competition for size.
Do you use like a Midsize now or something similar?
I use clubs that are .5 long. and Grips Midsize PLUS 4.
5 stars!!
Thanks.
My dream is to play many different courses, it's sad the only course I've ever played is my home course when I was a kid till I stopped and this summer getting back in to Golf
Hey Todd I don't know if you'll see this but I'm really loving the one plane swing I'm hitting the ball straight as ever but for some reason ever since I started the single plane swing I've lost 20 yards of distance with my irons but gained distance with my drivers and woods why is this.
are you hitting the irons too high? Check ball position and make sure your stance width is not too wide on the irons.
@@ToddGravesGolf It does feel like I'm hitting the ball higher than normal am I not getting enough forward shaft lean maybe
@@calebsnider4730 by narrowing your stance, as Todd suggested, that allows the ball to be further back which will automatically give the shaft more lean.
@@markpogson3799 I will try it was very fustrating hitting the ball dead straight but losing 20 yards
My Sandy Andy arrives Friday. You can bet I'll be straight off to the range too. I was at the range the other day, the only other 2 people there was a man and his coach. I received the best golf compliment I've ever heard when he said, "That guy is a like a machine", as I was swinging Moe Norman's single plane swing, and nearly every shot was perfectly straight and long. One after another, like clockwork! Can you imagine what his coach was thinking? hahaha - See my range session - th-cam.com/video/OJiijoAruqQ/w-d-xo.html
I noticed that ur not tilting hitting the bunker shots ? R u not titled intentionally?
Please explain ball position
