You can see the bunker shot I've hit there towards the flag it's gone a little too far because it got a firm bounce, but the swing itself was way too long to hit. If I wasn't in a bunker if I hit that shot from the side of the green that would have been like a fifty or sixty yard shot, but because I'm in the bunker and I hit the sand before I hit the golf ball the sand takes away a huge amount of the energy.
