Practice Your Sand Trap Game at the Beach

posted in Golf rules, Golf variations, golf advice |

The summer season is here and there’s a good chance that you might be visiting the beach soon. Maybe you won’t be able to get a round of golf in when you’re there but don’t forget your sand wedge!

A fun and useful game that you can play alone or with friends at the beach is a bit of a variation on the basketball game H.O.R.S.E.

Pick various targets on the beach (tip: avoid picking people as targets!) and use your sand wedge to hit the target with your golf ball. Alternate turns between the players and the player that hits the target in the fewest strokes gets a point. You can play to as many points as you want but 5 points is usually a good number to use.

This game will give you another fun beach activity while improving your skill for chipping out of the sand.

    Definitely an interesting idea! One of those kill two birds with one stone type of things. I’d recommend playing a little closer to the water where the sand isn’t as deep for a more realistic shot.

    Great advice OrlandoGolfBlogger! Just don’t pick a target out in the middle of the water - that would make for a real challenge!
