Nothing on YT.  Advertised web site is just a holding page. Looks cheap enough just to humor yourself and get a laugh if it doesn't work.

And I thought driving range flash cards were pretty "out there". I'd probably buy this too. :-P

I feel like this would only make my sand game worse. Even less resistance than hitting a regular ball off of grass I would imagine.

Looking at it - it looks like it would make me want to go right underneath the ball.  You can even see on the picture on the back of the box . .the ball on the pocket bunker is much higher than the ball in the sand.  I have no sand skills (other than I usually get out) but that seems weird.

Hi! The Pocket Bunker was launched on the 13th of July 2016 on the Indiegogo platform.  There you will find comprehensive information which includes a video that shows how it works as well as the durability thereof. PGA pro's are amazed at how results are almost immediate. The link is: https://igg.me/at/pocketbunker. It received great reviews from Golfpunkhq and Golfshake! It surely is cheap enough to give it a try! You will be amazed!

They're going to send a few to me. You can always write reviews of products you buy, of course.

Has anyone tried this? @iacas? Came across it on Amazon just now and while I don't usually go for this type of thing I would buy it if it's any good.

I saw those the other day and thought they were a gimmick, but I guess not. I'll have to try them out. Thanks for your review.

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      In March of 1978 I got to play Pebble Beach GC. Played it from the back tees, since I knew I'd probably never play it again. Oops, shot 102.  Three weeks later, I played Torrey Pines - South, again from the back tees (maybe 6,700 yds in those days). Shot an 87, and missed a birdie putt on the lakeside No. 18 green. In 2021, I played TPC Deere Run in the Quad Cities area. This is site of the John Deere Classic. It was early October and the course was undergoing renovation, so I got to play the front nine twice for $110, lunch included. The course was great and the driving range was unbelievable. Hint: you need to pay attention to the wind drafts before you try to challenge the cross bunkers! BTW, Deere Run is a public course. Norwood Hills Country Club is site of the Champions tour event, the Ascension Charity Classic, now the Stifel Charity Classic. This classic layout has 36 holes.This summer I hope to play the West course where the Champions event is held; Missouri Golf Association is sponsoring an amateur event there.  I have played the shorter East course three times - it's quirky but quite fun. Also: Circa 2000 I played il Picciolo, a course at the base of Mount Etna in Sicily. The volcano was spewing ash that week. The course frequently hosts European pro events. Lots of elevation change and gently rippling fairways. Left a 7i shot 10 yards short of green on one par 5. Turns out the hole had a 12-foot high alpine flagstick, and I was not as close to the green as I thought I was (bad perspective).

      Just the Plantation course at Kapalua. Not like I didn't know it, but it was a visceral reminder of how ridiculously good the tour pros are. That course is f***ing *hard* playing it from ~6500 yards. From the tips!? Then if there's wind?!

      How far back are we talking? Like I've played Inwood on Long Island and that held a US Open back in the day (nearly 100 years ago now). Courses that have held big events recently: Shinnecock Hills Merion Bethpage Black Winged Foot West Kiawah Island Ocean TPC Sawgrass Walton Heath Old Royal St Georges Royal Liverpool The Old Course Turnberry Muirfield Kingsbarns Royal Porthcawl Phoenix Country Club A few others that have held European Tour events relatively recently, and then these ones that held big events a long time ago: Royal Cinque Ports Prestwick Princes Inwood

      I get he thinks he can compete, but it's time to enjoy retirement. Get involved in golf in other ways. Go design hundreds of new courses. Expand the game. Maybe tee it up at the Majors from time to time. Yea, it is over.
