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. I would stick to the beach or the bunker. Hitting off desert is not fun and ruins your clubs. Trust me I ruined a perfectly good LW by using it on a 40 yard pitch shot from the desert in AZ. Make a funny noise at impact but boy did that thing spin Alex alex_chung View Public Profile Send a private message to alex_chung Find all posts by alex_chung
