Bunker Shot Technique

Steve Saunders suggests using a nine iron instead of a sand wedge for the long bunker shot. He explains that the club should be held in an open position and the golfer should aim slightly left of the hole, about five feet away. He also suggests that the golfer should put more weight on the front foot and aim about one golf ball behind the sand.
