Hacker Magazine hasn’t presented a golf lesson in its pages for many years. Personally I have never warmed to reading page after page of golf tips, firstly trying to comprehend the lingo then trying to interpret frame upon frame of still photos showing what you are supposed to be doing. Now that we’re digital however, we can present a video that you can really understand! We’ve been lucky enough to join forces with Travis Harrison, PGA Professional at Brighton Golf Course. He’ll guide you through some common problems with a simple solution, presented in a short and easy to understand video. While the article is titled Bunkered, of course we won’t solely be concentrating on getting out of them – in this regular article we’ll look at a common golfing problem and present a simple solution to fix it. All that said our first tip is to help you get out of an Archie! While I am not the most proficient at escaping every bunker I enter, I reckon 90% of the time I can at least get out of them. However I often play with golfers clearly better than me, yet they still have problems just escaping the clutches of a sandy grave. In this brief video (with the number 216 bus to Brighton Beach in the back ground), Travis helps us correct our address and take away to ensure we get out of these evil hazards more often. 16
