Perhaps it's the perspective - is there enough room to take a swing?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Looks like enough room to me.

Depends on how big you swing, where the ball is, and where you're aiming. That said, I'd assume you to be fun if hitting from near that front edge bordering the grass

How big of an area are you hitting to?  If you could show us the view from the ST?

It's not mine, it's some guy on r/golf on reddit. I was wondering that too.

Ahh.. got it.. I mean it looks to me like a person might only have a couple areas to hit from really, and it seems like it is so shallow that you need a lot of room to hit out to..

I would have made it differently I think, by digging deeper into the ground maybe?

Looks like something the dozens of neighborhood cats would constantly crap in. I would hate skull through my neighbor's window too. I'll stick with the one at the course.

Ha ha, my thoughts exactly. I have the perfect spot in my yard with a natural depression, but I also live with 4 cats(reverse pre-inheritance from my daughters), so no home sandtrap for me!

Without a practice green and a lot of room IMO more trouble than it's worth. Hitting from flat sand is nbd. If I could practice getting up and down it would be different. I practice the sand swing on my mat and my home course has 3 practice bunkers just a few miles away.

We have a crazy cat lady that lives behind us. I swear she has 50 cats running around, and they drive my dogs nuts.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
