Bunker Conditions

Currently, the bunkers at Doylestown CC have gone through a horrific summer season, what with the excessive rainfall and washouts. This has left many of them with little sand, and extremely firm conditions. When playing shots from them, be aware that your sand wedge likely has too much bounce which can cause you to skull balls over the greens. Firm sand requires you to hit closer to the golf ball, 1" at the most. Try your 60 degree wedge, which usually has much less bounce. This may help to prevent that skulled sand shot.
