I’m new to the site and thought I searched all areas although I could have missed a posting as I’m still learning.  Anyways, my husbands and boys (13 yr old & 16 yr old) LOVE golf.  We live in the danbury, ct area and I would like to have a sand trap created for them.  Anyone know of anyone or a company that does that in the NY/CT area?  Thanks for any insight.  Great site😄

Welcome to TST!

Start with a local golf maintenance superintendent. See what their expertise is in creating a sand trap and the materials, cost, machinery, etc. They may also have a better idea of what landscape company may have that expertise. Or you may be able to hire out the maintenance staff at the course during the off season.

Welcome to TST.    Sand traps and their maintenance are one of the more expensive parts of a golf course.    Do you have a budget in mind?  Please keep us informed, I'm interested in your journey here.

I too have thought of building one in the backyard, but here in Eastern NC, the courses never really close and there are tons of public beach sand to practice in the off beach season.  Still will be following this thread to see how the project goes.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
