A little curious about this statement. The ball doesn't move here, just your right foot. What was giving you a problem?

For some reason, maybe it was in my head, I just had trouble with getting a consistant FEEL. It may have been in my head, either way it just didnt feel right for me, whereas the system me and my instructor came up with, simply works for me, and feels right. With the hogan system, looking down at the ball i just felt as if each time were different, while with the system i explained, i feel like the balls in the same place, my feet are set in the same place and everythings good. Like i said could just be that i am a headcase

I am currently working on this part of my game. One problem I think I have is proper width on my stance as it relates to ball position. I think my stance has been too wide for my irons. I think that too wide a stance on the irons causes one to flip, come in too shallow and hit the ball fat. I tried watching the pros and they seem to have very narrow stances with wedges.

    • A sand trap is not supposed to have 3 inches of water in it. To me that’s temporary, casual water. Just like if your ball lands in a deep rain puddle in the middle of the fairway. I would have gladly hit out of any spot in that bunker. I understand that it’s a different rule. I just think it’s a dumb rule. You are penalized because it rained.  Here’s what I think is the dumbest rule in golf, and all sports for that matter - professionals playing for millions of dollars in a tournament have to carry around a little pencil and scorecard to keep their score and sign it, when there are big scoreboards all over the course and on tv. Can you imagine the Knicks losing because they didn’t count their score correctly? Like I said, I love the game, but it’s time to move into the 21st century already. 
    • Sorry to lose you, thx for letting us know 
    • I have to bow out for the weekend. I was only in for Saturday as it was
    • Could course committee have an MLR option to declare this bunker GUR? 
    • Sorry, I will disagree. You got a penalty because you hit it somewhere and didn't want to play it from there. Bunkers are not the general area. If you had hit it into temporary water in the general area, you'd be entitled to relief. You hit it into a hazard, a bunker. Why should you get free relief when you hit it into a bunker? If someone else hit it into a different part of the bunker, without water, they'd not get a drop for free out of the bunker. Heck, it'd cost them two strokes if they didn't have an ACC and wanted to drop it out of the bunker.
