    ScottHope:

    Sorry guys, I didn't realise Gary had copied Puttlucks post.

    And Gary should credit Puttlucks on that web page.

    May bad for sure. It was not intentional. That was one of my first pages, correcting it now.

    Gary

    PS Is corrected now.  Any time you all see someone I should credit please let me know.  When I first started the site it was encouraged by others, I was still new, to give credit.  I went back and tried to make sure it was done.  I had missed one again I sincerely apologize

    I'm one of those people who totally love bunker/sand shots, and have found they're not all that hard to master in general. If I had anything to say to anyone playing this game either in real life or WGT, it would be to first of all get rid of the notion that being in the sand is a bad thing. In fact, there are a lot of times where being in the sand is considerably preferable to being in the rough around the green, because you have more control in the sand, and will probably be way-closer to the hole.

    A good start (at least what I've found) is that whenever you're in the sand or bunker, just use the club your caddy automatically gives you for that shot, check which direction the green is flowing (and aim in that direction), and put your shot speed roughly halfway between halfway and full on the meter, especially if you're like 40-50% buried. For shots where the hole is a really short distance away, bang your meter speed about halfway.

    Like I said, this is what's worked in more situations than not for me, just using the plain 'ol standard Starter ball and wedges.
