Brandel Chamblee on how to deal with buried bunker lies

Brandel Chamblee offers advice on how to play from a buried bunker lie in this video golf lesson.

He goes through step-by-step what golfers need to do when facing this challenge. Rather than closing the clubface in an attempt to wedge it underneath the ball, which is how most golfers handle buried bunker lies, Chamblee recommends keeping the clubface fairly square and even slightly open.

The takeaway needs to be steep and abrupt, so that when coming into the ball, bearing the club into the sand will make both the sand and ball ride up the face of the club and out of the bunker.
