Video Tutorial: Crazy bunker trick shot

Written by  Andrew Wild on Thursday, 28 April 2011
Have a giggle on a Sunday morning round of golf with Andrew Wild's bunker trick.  

Why not tell us what your friends thought of the trick - we'd love to hear your comments.



OK, so here’s a little trick that you can try.

Your ball is in the bunker; get a little bit of wet sand on top of the ball and then place another – and this is the trickiest bit of the shot actually – there you go, place the other ball above it so it is balanced.

And then you hit a normal shot with the bottom ball, and what should happen is the top ball flies up and you can catch it, and the other ball hits the green with a load of spin. 

So this is how to impress you friends on a Sunday morning – have a go.

You watch this bad boy. Got him!

Andrew manages all aspects of Sandford Springs including Food and Beverage, Golf, Finance and Memberships.

Andrew originally met the Chairman, Paul Gibbons, when he was an assistant Golf Pro at Reading Golf Club 28 years ago.

Interestingly, 15 years later Andrew was giving Paul a series of lessons, during which he mentioned there was a club in Hampshire which was up for sale. After going to visit the club, Mr Gibbons ended up buying Sandford Springs. 

Andrew joined the company a couple of years later and six years on, he became the General Manager at the club they had first discussed all that time ago.

Andrew has a deep passion for the game of golf, which aids his enthusiasm in all his endeavours at Sandford Springs. Aside from playing, he enjoys simply being around the golf club and takes a great interest in looking after his members.

He believes that the atmosphere at Sandford Springs is second to none and finds it such a pleasure to be involved with the club that, in his own words – "Sometimes it doesn't even feel like work".
