“I know there are many ways to hit these shots but this is what I’ve been taught by the best instructors in the world and I know it will help make some difficult shots a little easier for you! Give it a try!

“1. Low spinner-Tiger taught me this shot at his charity outing [coolest moment of my life] he said to open the face, choke down, hands forward, narrow and open stance, swing out to in, and weight on your front leg.

“2. Bunker shot-Wide stance, weight forward, open face, choke down, ball is slightly forward of centre, butt end of club at belly button, turn around your front leg, throw hands from the top, good tempo.

“3. Touchy spin shot off a downhill lie-Wider than shoulder length stance, open face, choke down, weight forward, throw the hands, and good tempo is extra important here. Let the club head do all the work, you don’t need to force it.

“4. Flop shot-identical technique to the bunker shot. If you master one, you master them both!”

Try it in Florida and Arizona before hitting the links at home.
