Putting From A Bunker

6:37 am May 27, 2009

Is it possible to successfully putt the ball from a sand bunker?

The answer is yes, it is definitely possible! There are times when the
bunker sand is so hard and lipless, that you can make a successful
putt. It’s not easy from the sand, but it can be done.

As Arnold Palmer says, “the worst putt is better than your best
chip.”

Before trying to make the “hero” putt shot from the sand, it is
important to properly assess the situation. If the following conditions
exist, you may be able to go for a successful putt from the bunker:

1. The sand must be firm and well packed.

2. There must be absolutely no lip at the top of the bunker/edge of
the grass.

3. The ball should not have to roll for more than 4 feet or so of sand.
This is because it is often harder to roll the ball on sand rather than
grass.

4. The hole should be very close to the bunker.
