That's how I feel. Lots of times the driver isn't always the best option

I just browsed the True Blue & Caledonia course arial scorecard pics on all the holes...man...the sand...vacation on the beach! I will get my fairway stats in order!!
While it looks intimidating, True Blue is wide open for the most part. Hard to miss a bunch of the fairways.
Caladonia on the other hand is a bit more difficult off of the tee.

I have to admit, that even though I trust my swing, I do like wider fairways
Are all the sand areas bunkers or is there any wasteland areas on those courses? Some of the holes seem to have quite large areas of sand

At true blue all sand is waste area so you can ground your club, take practice swings, etc. definitely came in handy last year!!!

I can see why that can help. It really helped out during the invitational too. Not all the sand is the same so getting a feel for it was nice.
It's funny because sand at my home course is a rarity so I figured I would really struggle in SC with it. It was just not the case. I was able to pick it clean from the fairway waste areas but then found it fluffy enough when getting around some greens that I missed that I was able to splash it out. Definitely a different texture to it than what I experience around here.

yeah something Im going to practice a ton this year is the sand game. JB gave me some pointers last weekend, now its just time to execute
During a practice round last year with Biggsy. At caledonia I hit a couple sand pits a few holes in a row, I think 3. I took like 30 swings in 3 holes to get out of it. It was awful to go thru and I'm sure awful to watch. During the matches at caledonia I never really hit the hit pits, thank goodness. It was Biggsy's hole-in-one round. Made me feel even worse. :laughing:

So true dude. That was one thing I really worked on last year.

Man that sand was tough. It was hit or miss on whether you would get a good lie. I was in the bunker on hole 3 every round. Once I had a perfect lie and it was no problem getting the ball out. The other two times I had a very bare lie and it was tough sliding the club under especially with water on the other side.

I actually did pretty good out of the waste bunkers, it is regular bunkers I have a problem with. I definitely need to focus on that area of my game this year. It is definitely one aspect that is holding me back.

i found myself in the waste at True Blue more than i would have liked, but had no issues getting out...
i enjoy playing off that tighter sand where you can pick the ball a little cleaner. and although it felt wrong to do, some practice swings in the bunkers, even around the greens helped out a little. heck, i nearly holed one from around 135yd on #6 in the singles match. put it within a foot for a gimme birdie.
