Hit with the force necessary to throw a
handful of sand onto the green.

With an open stance, keep weight evenly distributed and play ball one inch forward of center, with club face slightly open. Make smooth three-quarter swing, letting chest turn away from target on
backswing.

For plugged lies, keep more weight on left foot to let the club dig into the sand. Play the ball in the middle with a square club face and shaft leaning toward target. You don't have to swing hard.

To avoid leaving the ball in the sand, keep weight on front foot and rotate chest throughout swing.

Angle shaft away from hole.

To avoid blading ball in sand, don't let left arm break down in downswing.
