Looks great, man! You clearly have good sand skills. If you were like me that fence may take a beating

So I've been absent from The Sand Trap for awhile.  Love this site, but since security issues at work made it so I can't visit during my lunches it's been hard for me to find the time to post on here.

Hello,

Sorry to bring back a zombie thread. Your putting green looks fantastic. I live in Pennsylvania and am thinking about putting one of these in my backyard this year. How is it holding up 2 years in? Are the paver base panels holding up strong?

Sorry did not see this.  The paver panels are fine, but I didn't frame the leveling sand under the green which is fine for me cus I like new breaks.

I do have an update.  So I decided the trap being so close to the green wasnt allowing me to practice sand shots so I decided to go back to hardware mode and enlareged the trap per the next two pics:

Once that was done I got a really nice quick pop net from Dicks and now I can practice any sandshot I want!  Also I put a cover down under the net to catch the sand then just put the sand back in to the bunker.  Couple finished pics let me know what you all think!

Thanks!  Yeah, after about 40 shots out of the trap the last few days I'm starting to feel more comfortable with my technique and more confident.  I def think this was needed just wish I had done it sooner!

Gotta say...trap has already paid dividends.  Had two sand shots Sunday and got out of both leaving myself a longish par put (which I missed both).  Still this trap is giving me confidence!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 293 6-24 Low point control work. Noticed most of my fat shots are coming when the shaft is steeper. Ill have a bunch of good swings and then have a real chunky, deep divot.

      Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
