On another thread I referred to the fact that most of the bunkers on our course don't have much sand in and I generally don't have many problems with shots from these, using a 58 or 56 degree wedge with 8 degrees of bounce I can open the face and slide the club under the ball and get good results.
However we have some new bunkers which have very deep and fairly heavy sand. When it's at all wet it is really heavy and horrible. I am really struggling with these. Often leaving the ball in which I never normally do on the other bunkers or only just managing to get the ball over the lip.
Anyone out there play from these sorts of bunkers regularly and has any advice? Is it technique or should I add a sandwedge with more bounce (12/13/14) to my bag?
Many thanks
