I've been thinking about something GC said the other day. She mentioned that she hit the sand on her backswing. Depending on where your ball is in the bunker - I can see how this may happen. I searched the USGA site, but can't figure out whether this would incur a penalty. If you hit the sand on your way back, would this be considered testing the sand or grounding your club?
