James - STRIKING THE BALL FIRST   Answers 
"I am the worst greenside bunker player in Wisconsin. Any tips? I seem to strike the ball first, no matter how far behind the ball I am aiming."
Dave - GREENSIDE BUNKER SHOTS   Answers 
"Greenside bunkers - "old school" vs. "new school." Open stance with an open club face and swing across foot line, OR square stance, slightly open face depending on height wanted and swing down the target line. Which is correct? I've heard that most pros are playing more of a square set up with possibly an open face and swinging down the target line. It seems as thought the square stance and swinging down the target line is easier, but if the club face is open, won't the ball go to the right? Looking forward to some advice to relieve my confusion and your recommendation on bunker play."
