Cool sort of time lapse series of photos showing how it's done. Some thick pieces of sod there.

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

I've been following St Andrews blog and that is a good walk thru of how all these horrible sand traps were built. 

I do not plan on being anywhere near that one, my plan is to kiss the balcony of suite 336 with wind only and come in with an 8I. Questions?

 

good stuff, mahalo for posting!

Is that the Road Hole bunker? Ah, I see that it's not! I clicked on the pic before clicking on the link.

There's a local metropark that features 36 holes of Donald Ross designed golf course. Years ago they embarked on a bunker rebuilding program. They do about two a year. The amount of work and expense involved is amazing!

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
