Reaching the green from a fairway bunker with a long iron requires perfect contact and a quiet lower body. Gary Gilchrist shows you how to dig your feet in for stability, make a quiet-legs swing that clips the ball off the sand rather than digging, and pick your target above the lip to ensure you clear the bunker and reach your intended distance.
