Let's face it, the sand bunker is called the sand trap for a reason. Most golfers hate to be in the sand. That's because they either take too little sand and the ball goes sailing across the green or they take too much sand and the ball actually stays in the bunker.

So what's the tip for taking the right amount of sand? Well, the tip is a dollar's worth of sand.

You see this is a great practice technique. You want to go ahead and put a dollar down and put the ball right on George Washington's face. You want to take some practice swings after you draw the two lines to where the club enters at the back line and finishes through the front line. Go ahead and swing and send the sand flying out. Now do the same thing over the ball.

And that's your tip for taking just the right amount of sand. Think One Dollar.
