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 59: just a short bit of mirror work and foam balls. Working on the leg stuff throughout the swing.

      Day 601 - 2026-05-25 Short-ish day with only some later Skillest lessons, so I stayed after and got some swings in. GEARS Hybrid was set up for a lefty, so… not that. 🙂

      Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.

      Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front.

      Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.
