That’s why today we’re going to talk about how to get out of the sand consistently and how you should approach escaping the sand trap mentally.

To Walk or to Ride?

In Golf Discussions, Golf Tips

Back in 1457, the creators of golf back in Scotland never put much thought into a question that’s almost impossible to avoid now when you step onto the course. Should you walk or should you ride a golf cart? Are these really the only two options available? And can you gain a small advantage based on whether you take a cart or carry your bag?
