Which drill helps determine the correct ball position for a greenside bunker shot?

• A. Feet Together Drill
• B. Line Drill
• C. Hold the Finish Drill
• D. Practice assignment

Answer: (B)

Using a visual cue to gauge where the club meets the sand in a greenside bunker shot helps you dial in ball position. The Line Drill provides a clear reference for setup and alignment, so you can see whether the ball sits too far forward or back in your stance and whether your path and contact are on the intended line toward the sand. When you align your body and the clubface to that line, you train yourself to strike the sand first and manage the club’s angle through impact, which is what you want for a clean bunker escape. The line gives immediate, repeatable feedback you can rely on as you practice. The other drills don't directly address where the ball should sit in the stance for this shot—they focus on balance, finishing position, or practice structure instead.
