In golf, the term “fried egg” is a euphemism for a plugged lie or buried lie in a bunker. Usually one of the toughest shots in golf! The golf ball is partially buried underneath the top level of sand, meaning only a portion of the golf ball is showing to the golfer.
PGA Pro Ben Doney gives some very sage advice on how to get yourself out of the lie in the bunker and onto the green. This legend makes a tough shot look easy and his tip could have you doing the same. You won’t want to miss this!
GOLF TIP – Clean Strike ✨
Your driver is a much different beast than your fairway woods or irons. Your impact position is totally different. With irons, you want to hit down on the ball creating a divot. But with your driver, you want to hit the ball on the upswing.
To get a CLEAN STRIKE with your driver:
????Tee the ball high
????Make a wide stance
????Position the ball forward in your stance
????Tilt your shoulders back
????Grip easy & relax
????Maintain an even tempo
????Don’t take the club past parallel
????Hit Up on the ball
????️♂️This will give you clean strikes of the golf ball that result in maximum distances!

GOLF TIP – Uneven Lie ✨
????Open or close the club face depending on the lie!
????Open the club face when the ball is above your feet and keep the club face closed when the ball is below. This is to account for the way the ball tends to travel due to the alternate swing path caused by odd or uneven lies ????.

RULES TIP by BEN DONEY – Time to Search for the Ball ✨
???? It is 3 minutes – NOT 5 minutes.
???? Although you may want/need 5 mins to find your ball, new rules dictate that this is not the case. 3 mins is the maximum amount of time allowed. ????❶????❷????❸

RULES TIP by BEN DONEY – Practicing on The Green ✨
???? You can make practice strokes next to your ball on a putting green without fear.
???? If you accidentally hit your ball on the green with a practice stroke, causing it to move, there is no penalty. Just put it back and play on! ????

GOLF TIP – Ingraining ALIGNMENT into your game ✨
“It goes without saying that it is no good having a perfect set-up, perfect grip and perfect golf swing if the whole thing is misaligned. It sounds obvious but many players simply do not spend enough time getting themselves on target.” ~ Nick Faldo ~
???? At the RANGE, check the position of your feet, knees, hips and shoulders, using clubs or alignment sticks
???? Ask a friend to stand behind you as you hit balls and CHECK your hips and shoulders. These are tough to check yourself!
???? Stand behind the ball, look at your TARGET, pick a leaf or mark a few feet in front of the golf ball, on your ball-to-target line. Adjust your feet, hips and shoulders so they are parallel to this line.
???? Practice this routine. This can then become part of your PRE SHOT routine on the course.
