Default Practicing In Sand
While I was waiting to tee off today - I was watching a guy practice hitting out of a deep bunker. I have a difficult time when they're deep and I was thinking that I really should practice there. Do you practice sand shots very often, if at all?

All the time. If it's a shot you can run into on the golf course, it should be a shot that is practiced. Just another part of the game.

I practice it everytime I work on my short game. Here is THP's Teaching Pro giving a quick lesson for the sand.

I practice sand shots every time I go to the driving range. If it is only warming up before a round I might not, but definitely when I go just for the driving range I will every time.

I haven't turned into a great sand player, but I get out and on the green in one shot a lot more than I used to.

I practice when I can. The range I usually go to doesn't have a sand trap for practice, but the 3 best courses that are within 20 minutes do. So when I'm there I'll head into the traps.

Thanks to Amollerud's video, I usually get out in one. I still haven't figured out how to hit the longer shots where the pin is beyond 10 yards from the trap though. That's about as far as I seem to be able to hit them.

I like to practice all kinds of different shots from bunkers. The hardest to practice are usually fairway bunker shots. A lot of courses have a few bunkers around the practice area for greenside bunker practice, but you hardly ever see a fairway bunker practice area.
