This seems to me like a great way of training in an environment that won’t forgive your mistakes at all – I’d recommend it to anyone near a beach, a desert or a usable bunker. Any dangers with this?

You have to be a little careful taking divots in some deserts. I play some of my golf at EAFB (Mojave desert). The fairways are not too bad in that you can take shallow divots, but hitting out of the desert is an entirely different matter. You have to be very careful when hitting down. The ground is not sandy soft, but more like sandy stone (ooops, I made a funny ). Sprained or broken wrists are a significant possibility if not careful (they do occasionally land the shuttle on this stuff). You might rephrase to say anywhere with soft, deep sand rather than use the ugly, desert word.
