Getting distance from a fairway bunker

Hitting the ball from a fairway bunker is a shot that fills many players with dread.

If you mis-strike it you may not get the ball far enough out to give you a shot at the green or, worse still, you may leave the ball in the bunker.

TG Top 12 Teaching Professional Scott Cranfield says your weight should favour the left side during the swing to stop yourself hitting too far in front of the ball.
