Swing thoughts in the sand

Weight forward
Speed speed speed
Height of follow through determines distance.

That last one may not be “correct” but it’s my thought. I’m really good in the sand. I’m always trying to make it.

I’ve recently begun my swing down into the ball deliberately trying to miss the ball on the inside (about 1” behind ball, but try to swing it inside to miss it). It has worked well for me / it’s a diff thought but the same as trying to swing outside to in / distance is changed by switching to either 60 or 56 and either open or straight face for each

Let your hands win the race to the ball before releasing the clubhead, swing through to a full finish

As Grant Horvat says “slap the sand.”

I was told this awhile back and it works for me.

Picture the ball in the middle of a dollar bill. Your swing needs to sweep through the dollar bill. This forces me to continue accelerating past impact.

Pretend there is a dollar bill sitting under the ball. Scoop the dollar out without breaking it.

Like slapping a Franzia bag

Most random analogy but somehow I know exactly what you mean

Open stance, get low, hit an inch or two behind, and finish with the club face pointing back at me.

Don’t blast sand all over myself

Pop it up, get out, move on
