today greg fixed my bunker game. I was making too many adjustments for the sand and was loaded with tension. I was forcibly swinging my arms and bending the left arm trying to vertical hinge instead of letting the pivot pull the arms through. I started using the pivot and feeling like i was hitting a normal 70 yd pitch shot but with an open face regripped strong single action. He got me to let the weight of the clubhead splash the sand, soft arms letting the weight fall like ernest jones' penknife. he had me getting into the follow through more, getting off the right foot instead of flat footed bending the wrists and arms. I was too open and pulling even more left in the follow through, Instead he got me to angled hinge on plane with a slightly open open plane line. Immediately I was hitting High soft beautiful bunker shots all right around the hole which i couldn't see until I got out because of the high lip.
This makes me a very happy golfer. We even tackled the hardpan bunker shot that you get from bunkers that don't have enough sand in them which are too common around here.

Ernest Jones was a great Golf Instructor. No question.

And his idea to "Swing the Clubhead" and let Centrifugal Force do all the work is simple and intuitively appealing. Under the watchful eye of a competent Instructor, that approach can yield spectacular results. In fact, Homer Kelley himself embraced the correct application of the concept in Chapter Five with his admonition to "Swing the Hands."
