Bunker

Some golfers dread getting their ball out of a bunker or sand trap. The proper definition is a hazard consisting of a prepared area of ground, often a hollow, from which turf or soil has been removed or replaced with sand. It is near the green or fairway that is filled with sand. They show up in fairways and alongside fairways.
Here are some tips on getting the ball out:
Establish a firm footing
Keep the clubface open
Take open stance
Hit it at least 2 inches behind the ball
Have a comfortable stance
Place most of your weight on your front foot
Hold your club loosely, and stay in control
Keep your hands slightly behind the ball on the swing
Try and focus on splashing the sand under the ball this way you can make a clean contact.
