BUNKER SHOTS
Most high handicappers have an ingrained fear of bunkers shots. Here are a few simple tips to alleviate stress and keep things simple. Take a traditional open stance but instead of playing the ball off of your left heel, move the ball forward slightly. This will promote a shallower swing and allow for more room to maneuver the club through the sand. Remember to always accelerate through the ball and not just dig the club head into the bunker. Try this simple tip and you'll find how easy a bunker shot can be.

Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Turtle Point features three spectacular
oceanfront holes. Opened in 1981 and totally renovated in 2000, its low profile design takes advantage of the island’s natural contours and
dune ridges. The course flows seamlessly through interior forests of hardwoods
and palmettos, along backwater lagoons and finally to three spectacular holes
along the Atlantic Ocean. The
course has hosted many amateur and professional tournaments including the 1990
PGA Cup Matches and the 2006 Carolina Amateur. It was recently awarded 4 ½ stars in Golf Digest’s
"Best Places to Play" reader’s poll. Facilities include a $7.5
million clubhouse built in a classic Lowcountry style.
