Golf can be mentally exhausting when practicing rudimentary "boring" movements because they seem "too easy". For example, I think people tend to not practice putting because they think it's "boring"....or....they don't know what or how to practice. Sand practice is very similar, yet I see countless folks add 4 strokes to their round based on lousy sand shots....and another 5 to 6 for bad putting, and they can't figure out why they can't break 90. I wish I understood the mindset because sand shots and putting are probably the easiest shots to practice. Besides that, I use a firmer sand bunker to assess where the low point of my swing is for my regular shots. I draw a line and see if I hit behind or at the ball and in front. The sand doesn't "lie". LOL.Agreed.
The mental game is a big topic in golf. IMO, it has more importance with practicing than it does on the course.
