 I'm not a golfer, but this image came to mind when thinking of sand. Went out to a local course just after sunrise (i.e., before golfers were on the course) and snapped a few of a ball in a trap near the green. Wish I could have had someone along to hack at the ball, creating sand spray which would have been more dynamic.

Original idea. I'm surprised I haven't seen more sandtraps in this challenge.

Nice compostition. I like the placement of all the different elements in the frame. Flag stick should probably be true vertical as otherwise it looks tilted.

This is what I was trying to get and have a title of "gimme?", but couldn't get access onto a golf course. Very well shot with the flag in the background.

Trying to combine 2 hobbies into 1?

Simple, tells a story, nicely composed.

Subtle and lovely. Since you have to scroll down to "get" the entire picture, some folks might miss it.

Been there, done that. Could have also fit the unlucky challenge. Nice photo.

I did expect to see more sandtraps, I am sure a lot of people can relate to this one!
