Ring Edges
Hit 15 bunker shots from each of three good-lie stations: front, middle, and back. Set a landing ring on the green with its front edge parallel to the front edge of the green, then control carry distance across 5 to 24 yds depending on difficulty.

Setup & execution
Set the ring so its front edge runs parallel to the front edge of the green. Build three good-lie bunker stations at approximately 7, 11, and 15 yds of carry, then hit 15 shots from each station. Normal difficulty asks you to keep the same landing window while the carry distance changes. Use the same splash rhythm from the front station, then adjust swing length and sand entry as you move to the middle and back stations.
Goal
Score 34 or more total points to pass. Award 2 points inside the 5-ft inner ring, 1 point inside the 15-ft outer ring, and 0 outside or in the bunker.
Tour context
Average players who can repeatedly land bunker shots inside a 15-ft zone from several cover distances are developing the carry control that turns bunker play from recovery into a scoring skill.

BunkerLine in the Sand
Draw a line in the sand 2 in behind the ball and rehearse entering the sand on the line. Record each of 15 swings as Before the Line, On the Line, or After the Line to build a repeatable bunker entry point.
Bunker Premium optionsThree Lies
Place three balls in the bunker with different lies: good lie, half buried, and fried egg. Hit all three to the same flag, then repeat for five rounds. Score by finishing inside the tier's target zones, from 20 ft outer / 8 ft inner at Easy to 10 ft outer / 3 ft inner at Elite.
Bunker Premium optionsFour Common Slopes
From a greenside bunker, hit one shot from each of four slope positions — uphill lie, downhill lie, ball above feet, and ball below feet — all aimed at the same target. Score 1 point inside 15 ft and 2 points inside 5 ft. Repeat for nine rounds of four shots each.
