10 ways to conquer fairway bunkers, per top teacher

Hit the sand behind the ball.

Fairway bunkers are a common hazard on any golf course, and they can be a real challenge to play from. But there are a few things you can do to improve your chances of getting out of a bunker cleanly.

First, open the clubface of your sand wedge. This will help you to dig into the sand and get under the ball. Second, aim slightly left of your target. This will help you to compensate for the fact that the ball will tend to hook when it comes out of a bunker.

Finally, make sure to hit the sand behind the ball. This will help you to create a cushion of sand that will help the ball to pop out of the bunker.

How much does water on the ball impact your shots? Top teacher explains

Water Beads on the Ball: A Hidden Shot Detriment
Water beads, those tiny droplets that cling to your ball, can have a significant impact on your shots. They increase the spin rate on the ball, causing it to fly higher and land shorter. This can be a major disadvantage, especially on long drives where you want the ball to travel far and low.
Golf instructor Mark Crossfield explains, “Even a small amount of water on the ball can cause a significant drop in ball speed and distance.”
Crossfield recommends drying the ball thoroughly before each shot. This can be done with a towel or a special ball-drying device. You can also use a ball cleaner to remove any dirt or debris that may be clinging to the ball.
By keeping your ball dry, you can ensure that you are getting the best possible performance from your shots.

No water, no problem: Why U.S. Senior Open site is agronomic anomaly

The spotlight is on Minnesota’s mighty Mississippi River at this week’s U.S. Senior Open at the 400-acre Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, which will host a USGA championship for the first time since 2009 when Lucas Glover won the U.S. Open there.

Saucon Valley is one of the few courses in the country built on a flood plain. The issues that usually come with building a course so close to water have been almost entirely mitigated by an elaborate drainage system that diverts water away from the course.

“The original design was intentional to keep the water off the course,” said John Zimmers, chairman of the USGA championship committee. “There’s a 25-foot drop-off right over there and there’s a series of pumps and ponds and basins that keep the water from coming onto the course.”
