The reason is that the club(head)s had very little bounce. Basically nought. Sandwedges were not invented in the 20's.

Again: The game becomes much more interesting when the bunkers are REALLY hazards.

Low trajectory?
My ballstriking was good that day and I did not have any problems. Even though the face of the spoon was about half my normal one.

The pro said low trajectory shots were recommended, but we all played a bit of everything.
