The sand in the bunkers is never the right texture for your particular technique.

Wrongful Lie

If a ball lands within a fairway but unfairly comes to rest in a divot hole, pitch mark, tire track, or other concavity, or in any similar sunken, indented, or depressed lie more likely to be encountered in uneven or broken ground along the margins of a hole where terrain has been deliberately and appropriately designed to penalise errant play, that ball may be moved without penalty to the nearest adjacent lie where the condition of the playing surface is more nearly representative of the overall state of the turf generally prevailing throughout the majority of the fairway, when considered as a whole.

Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening - and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.

Bunkers have the unnerving habit of rushing out to meet your ball.

The best way to straighten out a fade is to use a bunker as the aiming point for your shot

During the first round with a brand new set of clubs, the ball has to be played from a road.
