Occasionally you can hold the back button down and thesandtrap.com will be in the history of the back button, but then you're likely just loading the same page from a cache that got you the bad actor ad. So yeah, typing in a fresh URL or closing the window is the best way to go.

It will still pop up from time to time as ads load up. I found that hitting the stop button on my browser while the page is loading seems to help since the ad banner loads last. It's annoying though.

I read an article somewhere that said Google was working on a way to solve this issue in Chrome.

The URLs help. Just copy and paste it.

I forwarded the domain name to the advertising network. They hate this shit as much as we do - it's a bad experience for everyone. And who falls for this shit? Enough people that it's profitable, I guess… 😛

At any rate, bad advertisers sneak some bad ads into the ad network, and it f***s with a few people, until it's rooted out and the advertiser is kicked out of the network.

It should be cleaned up soon.

      Day 126: another busy day, so just did some mirror work. Checking set up and backswing and working on a few downswing feels.

      Day 310 - Working on my follow-through. Higher chest, belt towards the target. Small swings at first, building to a fuller swing (still not thrilled with my short backswing).

      Day 201 (19 Nov 24) - Walked the back nine at Minnesott today, played the “white” tees with the persimmon woods and bladed irons.  It’s a challenge I really like as the clubs are shorter in overall distances.  It really forces me focus on the value of the approach game.     Somehow yesterday’s post did not load / so it’s above.  Today (Day 202) I did some backyard short yardage work - 7i dink  and rolls, 9i chips and 50deg pitches - working to get it in before the rain started around noon.
