Had the same lesson from Coach Lockey and now I am consistently spot in with my bunker shots. Sincerely thankful for Coach Lockey!
Over 3 years (7 January 2014) since @coachlockey showed you how to play better bunker shots and only now you've got it!! Putting the coach into coachlockey.
thanks Mark.Leading by example.Practise,practise and more practise.Well done Lochy.
Thanks MC and Coach, improved my bunker play from watching this video.
Had a lesson with the coach a couple of years ago, it transformed my bunker play and it was cool watching him hitting out the bunkers easily!!!
Couch Lockey Genius ! That was a good video, practise and technique, Mark did the work, and in only 5 days there is success! Love it!
The coach knows how to instruct sand play...provided some worthwhile steps to success.
Coach Lockey in his element here! Great video - we all need to improve from the bunkers
Pete Cowen's bunker coaching method is the best one going for me. I was taught it a few years back and I've learnt to hit high and low bunker shots depending on the shot required due to his simple set up drills and technique pointers.
@coachlockey and @MarkCrossfield
Huge thanks to Locker and you with the more square, to a hair closed bunker stance, and weight forward. My bunker game is decent but suffered from a low/mid flight from greenside bunkers. This small tweak in stance has extremely helped to get that nice higher splash out of the bunkers. When trying this on the course today had a kick in par on one bunker shot and made a 3-4 footer on the other.
Thanks guys, love the vids.
Cheers bruh
KNUCCCCCKLEBALL!
Interesting hearing you mention patterns, relating to using Lockey's technique and still being able to use your own. I realised that when I can use my imagination really well, I can "switch over to autopilot". Just feel how each shot should feel and play. But I go through cycles where the feel just isn't there, so I have to go mechanical. Then after a short while the feel comes back and I can autopilot again. The quicker I recognise during a round where I'm at with my long, short and putting game. The quicker I can adjust to what I need to do and keep my score in check. The trick is having a mechanical thought/move that is just enough to focus on and improve your next chip or drive. It's better than going through negative crap of 'I can't chip today" etc. Great vid
Dave Parker .... good input Dave. Thinking mechanically is my Achilles heel.
Was taught this technique by Coach Lockey over at the Georgia Club last week. Must say I'm with Mark in this as my previous technique was very similar to his; although I can do both, consistency of strike, distance control and divot pattern was definitely much better on average using the squarer set up with the flick at the bottom. Hit 50 balls with Coach using his technique and didn't leave one in the bunker or catch any thin whereas my old technique I'd usually knife one or leave it in at least 10% of the time. Cheers Coach!
Best instructional video I've seen in a long while .. great stuff
It's almost more fun to watch you guys get a lesson. Really intriguing how you guys are able to share so much more with your thoughts and how you make sense of it with your own words. Rick Shiels has been doing this with Dan Whittaker and it just takes teaching to a whole new level. Great stuff guys
Crossfield Magic 👏🏼
This is my favourite videos of yours. Great to see how improvement in golf works, that everyone needs to practice and the great Coach, coaching! Wonder if its as popular as "hit it 300 yards"?! #lockeyarmy #heisapro
Great lesson, Coach! Thanks for sharing... Can't wait to try it.
Cheers!
Great Vlog Mark .. you are correct it's all about practice!! 😉🏌️⛳️🍻
It boils down to practice and skill. Who'd have thought it? Great vid lads, there are no short cuts....
You boys certainly got the most out of Las Calinas! I am always surprised when another video comes from that course
Thanks for that gents. I have never worked bunkers out and it is really interesting to hear you thoughts and certainly gives me some ideas to try.
Excellent info as per usual... I tend to use a hinge and hold with weight forward, similar to Coaches technique..
Loved this bit... I love the exchange of techniques between the two of you. It shows your open-mindedness too.
And I've always questioned the "old" method of opening your stance,etc.. so it's a good comparison..
Let us know how you make out please.
Mark, I have the same problem that you do do...deciding on a proper technique. I believe that in golf, you can be too athletic and this can be a hindrance. You can perform multiple tasks with multiple techniques which can only complicate things. I've learned to be more decisive. 🐈
I was taught this flicky technique a while ago and I cannot use it in bunkers with next to no sand in them. I find the bounce of the club does what it does best and bounces off the hard sand and sends the ball over the green. In nice sandy bunkers it works a treat.
Hey Mark, I don't appreciate you using duffy every time you hit a bad shot. I take it very personally!regards, Tom Duffy
Haha!!
Mark,
I have been a big fan of your videos for a while now. Your teachings videos had a lot of impact on my teaching philosophy when I was working at a club numerous years ago. I like this video because I have noticed some of your short game issues as compared to when I first started watching your videos. Coach referred to something being off and not being able to put a finger on it. Your shots starting at 2:50 seem to have serious amounts of dipping with your lower body, as if your trying to help it up. it appears to bottom out the club early and thus making strike inconsistent. Your swing in bunkers around the 8:30 mark seem to have a much more stable base and I think it allows you strike the sand where you want to more consistently. Has having a more stable base been something you have considered or tried.
I am curious if that would help your strike consistency.
Ryan
Love these type of videos!
Mark you must have the biggest bounty on you're head from more or less every golf manufacturer out there!! " can't I just get a new wedge "😂😂😂..
Without being seen as a massive suck🎾's .....these are the type of vids I think more and more golfer's should be watching. Fanatic as always👍🏼👍🏼🙌🏼
Amazing lesson to watch, coach nailed the instruction and Mark actually looks like his technique is more like coach's. Just need some dodgy pins to match...
Anychance of Coach and yourself doing a 'Whats in the bag?' Keep up the good work!!
Would like to see you review the new Callaway Sure Out wedge. Hank Haney had a lot of input. It's a 'game improvement' wedge. Callaway had a few of their own people in the bunker with 75 balls and none were left in the bunker.
We talkin' about practice!!
Really good stuff
Looks like you could use a wider stance for more stability and a more consistent strike
Enjoyed that,thanks a lot.
A big fan here who is going through exactly the same bunker shot issues as Mark- old school vs new school. At 65 (10 HC) I definitely learned old school and I'm not too bad, but this winter at Leadbetter's academy in Orlando I asked my instructor to show me the new school approach that I see so may tour pros using (a la Lockey and especially LPGA). Of course he made it look easy and I had some success. To get ready for the season I've been doing 1 hour work outs in the bunker for the past 3 days trying to duplicate that success, wondering like Mark "is it technique or just practice?". I am still more comfortable with old school. Mark, once you get it all figured out please tell us the key elements to making the transition to new school. Coach does it great, but I would like to hear how you made the change if you decide to go with it. Thanks.
Interesting to see how coach opens the face and adds loft to pop the ball out.
Great in fine dry sand, what about soggy compact UK bunkers!??
Lockey's got it right. Wide stance and weight on the left side. Zero lateral shift during swing.*
Love the rusty wedges lately!
Sometimes a new technique seems to work but it might be that you have improved strike control from the practice? Golf is hard !!
Ball position plays such a big part of bunker play. Seems if it's not forward enough then you have to do things to enter sand before the ball. Manipulation I guess. Ball forward and you can slide club right under it.
hope Coach put an invoice in for that lesson! #IsHeEvenAPro

How does the Magic feel Mark? 🔮
nice work coach #IsHeEvenAPro
At least you have real sand. At one course we play at, it's like hard pan sand... You could putt out of a trap if you're close enough to the hole
Hello mark I play bunker shots same way as I chip from of the green.is there a right and wrong way or just what works.keep up the great work bru #lockeybunkerwin
was Mark in to Las Colinas in Texas????
I've been going through a stage of almost topping my bunker shots. Maybe 1 out of 2.
I've been working on it, and it feels like the heel is contacting the ground, making it skip off the surface. Is this a thing? Thanks
just get one of those xe1s mark they guarantee to get you out every time
The magic rubs off.....
I can never wrap my head around actually knowing how to play from the bunker
Crazy how we're all aware of our faults that create danger shots we just forget to implement our fixes and drills during play ! I'm massively guilty of this ! As I'm sure are allot of others mark !
Face opened slightly at address right Mark?
You tube Gary Player bunker play and you'll find out vey quickly how it's done
I guess that's why they call him "coach" :)
They don't call him a Coach for nothing 😉
Can Mark repay the favour and teach coach to tap it down the fairway with a driver?????????
Dean Jones yes! Coach you need a go to swing out on the course with the big stick! We want consistency to watch....can't believe I just said that....
Patterns - life lesson (you should write a self help book) - I'll edit it 🤓
looks like your follow-through is a bit shaky, and it looks like it stops too abruptly. maybe try a wider, longer follow-through?
