Bunker Swing "Set Up Fundamentals"

The fundamentals of the bunker swing have been written, said and shown many different ways over the years. In fact, I have found that most people are totally confused about what to do when they get into a bunker. Most of the time what they do is not correct. There is so much anxiety that one feels when he or she gets into a sand trap. Most of the time golfers brains go blank, their muscles get tight, their breathing rate increases, they swing faster similar to swinging an ax and all they want to do is just get out of the bunker!
So when I tried to teach the bunker swing to someone, I am fighting many negative thoughts and feelings. I've found that simple is better. When people get too many thoughts in their heads, they will never get the ball out of the bunker, unless they are lucky.
Let's make this simple, shall we? Yes we shall.
First let's discuss the set-up. Remember, 95% of swing errors derive from an improper setup. So let's discuss a simple sand swing set up.
Your feet should be 14 to 18 inches apart, about shoulder width. Stand tall, with knees slightly flexed, upper body Bending forward slightly from my hips, and we centered on the balls of your feet. Let your arms hanging loosely, almost straight down from your shoulders, leaving 4 to 6 inches of space between your hands and legs.
Use a neutral too weak grip, and reasonably light grip pressure. Your upper hand should be about 1/4 of an inch from the butt end of the club. You should be able to feel the club head as you waggle and swing.
Don't crouch, is this pushes your arms away from your body and flattens your swing plane, which is determined by your size and posture. With short clubs such as your wedges, your body is fairly close to the ball, so your swing plane should be quite steep.
When you're in the sand, remember to set up and aim slightly to the left of your target, open your club face wide, in position your ball on a line with the inside all of your left heel.
Hopefully, if you follow these simple set up fundamentals, your ability to perform a simple and effective bunker swing will follow and your shots will fly out of the sand more consistently.
