Hazards
Slippery When Wet
Water is the one thing you just can't hit out of, unless it is "casual water". Casual water would be where water has collected on
the course other than the little ponds and waterfalls. You are allowed to hit out of casual water but be prepared to take a bath.
However, you are allowed to remove your ball from casual water and find the nearest relief (not closer to the hole) and drop it
one club length from that spot.
It is just better to stay out of the water. If you have to go over the water, make sure you have enough club to do it. Coming up
short doesn't help your situation any.
Bunkers
There are basically two different types of bunkers. Fairway bunkers are usually halfway up the fairway where you might want to land
coming off the tee. They are there to add difficulty to a hole. If you find yourself in a fairway bunker, your best bet is to pick
the ball clean from the sand or take as little sand with the ball as you can. If the fairway bunker is deep, you may have to use
your sand wedge just to get out of the bunker and move on.
The other type of bunker is the greenside bunker. Here you want to take some sand with your ball to get out. That is, a layer of
sand should be between your ball and your club. If you hear a click when you hit the ball, then your not taking any sand with the
ball. You want to hear a bit of a thud when you strike the ball.
Find the practice sand trap your your practice facility and make this shot over and over to get a good feel of how it works. You need
to take a full swing at the ball and a complete followthrough. Don't be afraid of hitting it too hard. You almost can't hit it to
hard in this situation.
