Key Points

  • Teaches short distance movement mechanics between bunkers.
  • Explains posture retention during transitions.
  • Covers controlled foot placement for predictable motion.
  • Outlines marker stability throughout movement sequences.
  • Helps players maintain balanced alignment during bunker changes.

Details

Transitioning between bunkers requires controlled footwork and stable body mechanics. The focus is on maintaining posture and marker alignment throughout the movement not on timing or tactical reasoning.

Players begin the transition by establishing a balanced stance before initiating movement. This prevents instability during the first step.

Short, controlled steps reduce vertical bounce and keep the marker stable. Long or rushed strides increase upper body movement and disrupt alignment.

The torso should remain aligned with the direction of movement. Excessive rotation or leaning can create imbalance.

During transitions, the marker remains close to the body to reduce drift. Holding the marker too far forward reduces stability.

As players reach the next bunker, they settle into a controlled stopping sequence rather than decelerating abruptly.

These mechanics ensure stable, predictable movement across short distances between covers.
