Episode 17: Bunker Rules Explained - Relief, Penalties, and What Amateurs Get Wrong
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Bunkers can be intimidating for amateurs, and the rules inside them are more nuanced than most golfers realize. In Episode 17, Corey breaks down the bunker rules that actually matter, including what counts as being “in” the bunker, how to handle a ball that disappears in soft sand, why you can’t ground your club, and what to do when there’s standing water.
We also cover practical situations like rakes and movable objects, abnormal bunker conditions, footprints and unraked lies, unplayable ball options (including when you can leave the bunker), and what happens if a bunker shot goes out of bounds. To wrap up, Corey shares Birdie Board updates, including recent releases, login improvements, and ways to opt into the email list.
