TIPS TO ESCAPE FAIRWAY BUNKERS - RICK SHIELS 

Thanks Rick for all the tutorials and guides over the years! I've gone from a 20 handicap to a 5 handicap over the past few years, since I started incorporating your drills! Honestly, thanks!

Hey Rick, just wanted to let you know that you are among my top favorite youtubers. keep up the good work! Also I love your last name I've never heard it before

great tips for the hardest shots in golf! would love to hear your thoughts on club selection in longer/fairway bunkers.

The best video I have seen on fairway bunker play . Thank you.

Thank You Rick. This is what my daughter needs to work on and you’ve clarified it.

Very nice graphics Rick! You've really upped your game

Production value is really improving, Rick. Love it, nicely done. The instructional stuff is awesome, too. Not as easily digestible as a bunch of shiny new golf club pornography, but really useful and well appreciated.

Thank you!!! alot more confidence now when I get stuck in that sand. keep up the great work!😎

Great stuff, been waiting to see something like this for ages. Most only cover standard bunker shots, or fairway bunkers. The range you covered is a great help.

You are always full of great tips and help. You don’t over complicate things and so easy to watch. Thanks

Brilliant stuff; I've been waiting for this content / vlog for ages. The Lumine series is really good; quality content! Cheers

Much needed for this weekend, thank you!

So so so helpful Rick thank you for the great videos loving the context lately!! 📈👍🏻🙌🏻

Perfect course to demonstrate these distances.

They were very good tips. I have never been able to hit a bunker shot. I think those tips will help. I at least now understand how and why.

I have been watching your videos and have learnt a lot from them but like everything else you can always get better from experience and practice

I needed this so much. Thank you Rick!!

Hi Rick, can you advice which clubs to be used too?

Just fantastic quality work, Rick. Thanks!

Nice!! Very good tips, Rick! I keep my lower body fairly still, but my weight still moves slightly left.

Very nice, simple, and useful explanation. Basically what is seems like you're doing is to closer you get to the green, the more your setup and technique begins to resemble what you would normally do in a greenside bunker (open your stance & clubface and take more sand behind the ball).

Nice video, good tips. Can you give a tip on playing out of green side bunkers when theres not much sand. tricky shot that gets me an awful lot.

These videos are so helpful! Thanks you Rick

Great tips rick, been struggling a bit out of green side bunkers lately and going to Portugal on Sunday so hopefully it helps.

Thanks for the great lesson, Rick. Is the ball spinning back or releasing on the green?

Thanks bud, this is good stuff. The dreaded fairway bunker shot. Many of us amateurs have a hard time with these.

Great video Rick! These tips will come in handy.

Golf education at its best! Great video rick

Excellent as always - thanks Rick!

Thanks for the videos! hoping to not need this one this weekend, but ready if I do!

Good series mate. Keep em coming.

Very clear instruction video!

Awesome video. Super helpful, thanks so much.

Another top video Rick! Bring on 200,000 subs you deserve it

Thanks Mr. Rick. Great video.

Great videos! Thanks!

Hey Rick I'm just now getting into golf and I don't know if you've made a video like this or if I just haven't seen it yet, but would you be able to make a video for beginners like me on what situation or when to use every club? That would be extremely beneficial! Thanks and keep up the good work. I love your videos! I am learning a lot from them.

Nice video Rick easy tips to use when playing

As usual Rick plain & simple without all the waffle from some others on here.

Great tips Rick

Very interesting! Thanks again

Great video. Thanks

Really good video. The quality of your tip videos is really awesome! BTW, what do you do if the ball is slightly plugged in a fairway bunker, so you can't get a good strike on it without taking sand?

Where was this video yesterday. Stuck my drive in a bunker 30yds from the green and chunked it straight into the water in front. Thinned the next one over the back

Great video...and no clapping Muzac...I could concentrate on lesson. Thanks.

Great tip. Sweet shirt!

your content is so great, it has really helped my game and now am almost scratch

another great video! keep them coming Rick!

A lot of great information.. this part of my game has always killed me. Thanks for making this! Can't wait to put it in play but let's hope I don't have to at the same time lol

Great video thanks

I like what the Un-Professional Duck has to say Rick. You and Pete do an excellent job in instructing golfers of high handicaps and I for one appreciate it very much. I like this lecture on bunker shots. Here in Las Vegas most of your fairway area is bunker. Meaning we have plenty of hard pan ( hard sand and rock with tall bushes and mounds through out ) and only a few yards of fairway and then a postage stamp size green with a concrete finish. I am just kidding here gang. We do have some lovely courses but all too often the hard pan is much more a part of my play than the fairway or rough. Anyway, I enjoyed this lecture and will attempt to put it into play. Las Vegas Joel

Excellent idea for a video

Great vid Rick

Great Video Rick

Great video rick :)

thank you Rick

Thanks for the information, I've been doing it all wrong

Nice looking golf course. I play private. But there is some wonderful looking courses on RU-vid like on your videos, pga and Skratch golf. His tips are easier than celebrity Jason Day in the bunker. Easier and good results. This guy make it easy. Jason Day is still a good pga player

So close to 200k subscribers. More videos like this and you will be at 250k in no time.

More on course reviews, less simulator reviews, great vid !

Excellent tips! Wish I could give Thumbs Up a second time. You raked those bunkers afterwards, right? ^_^

Rick, how different is you swing length compared to if you were playing off the fairway? Is the 90/70/40 yard swing from the bunker the same as you would hit for a 90/70/40 the same as from the fairway?

thumbs up great video

great vid. im horrible out the sand mainly because im hardly in it lol

Can you make a video for a fairway bunker shot that's 2 ft. under the lip or in front of the lip?

Hey Rick comparing the 90 yard shot to the 70 yard shot. Do you change how hard your coming through the shot? It looked like you had an abbreviated swing for the 70 but you would know better than me. Cheers mate almost at 200k

Hi Rick. With respect to the first bunker in the video: what is the difference than with a normal swing? Nothing right?

What irons are u using

what lotf is it agian ? and yhe good vid as allways

The key is to strike the ball first then the sand AFTER the ball.. this is counter-intuitive to do, golfers are conditioned to hit the sand before the ball, keep our body behind it and open our stance when we are in any bunker! 🙈 what is the distance formula for club selection? One extra club?

Great stuff Rick! #roadto200k #hofer

Rick should you use more or less bounce out of a soft bunker

Hey Rick loved this video. I'd like to see a fried egg lie, I once saw a guy turn the club so that the face was looking back at him and leading edge was parallel to his feet. Have you ever seen this done ?

Hey Rick their not bunkers , You should go play the 16th at woolley park it is the deepest in yorkshire about 12 foot .I've been up against the face three times first I got out and cleared the green and lost it . 2nd and third I hit6 foot up it and it climbed out . paul good videos though.

what about bunker shots on the edge of the green Rick such as 10 yards?

Does this apply to a 150-200yrd fairway bunker shot, if you drove into one on a par 5 say?!

How would you have played the shot if it had been close to the lip?

Great tip for u all don’t go in them 😂😂😂👍👍👍

how would you hit out of the fairway bunker with your irons

LET'S GOOOOOooooooooooooo

If you constantly hit behind the ball, you're gonna suffer in a fairway bunker. The ball is going NOWHERE.

Why do people always say “I found a fairway bunker”?? I think the bunker found you 😂

Fairway bunkers are my nemesis :(

thats a huge accomplishment! congrats! #kev1golfreviews

we don't have fairway booonkahs where I play.

Tell US what Club YOU are USINGGGG

Can you do this for Fairway bunkers 150-200 yards out. I struggle with club choice.

where the bunker video with 245 left to go?

'Boonker' :)

4th

Ugh, just watched this and 2 other videos on hitting out of fairway bunkers. Each worked well for the respective content provider (of course), but all 3 provided very disparate and contradictory advice! I guess I'm on my own on this shot.

You should apply these shots on your own rounds. It feels like when you are calm and comfortable, you play much better. And as your tip to focus on hitting the ball clean and good, should be applied to every shot. Too many focus on their swing on the course, don't change your swing on the course, just hit the ball good!

Rick, I can't think of any reason you wouldn't play the 70-yarder exactly like the 90-yarder, except with less swing. Why even talk about possibly hitting behind the ball or changing to an open stance? Shouldn't you just hone one quality ball striking swing and stick with it?

My tip to escape the bunkers is don't hit it in there in the first place

first
