    Hello WGT Players,

    Sand are like magnets? Or it's just bad gaming/playing?

    I did some tests but it's not clear. Should try with elevation and no elevation, etc. Just want to know if other players "feel" that the sand is "attracting" the ball. 

    GG!

    LOL Yrydys everyone remembers that period of their play. With more playtime it tends to lessen its magnetism just work thru it and have fun.

    They play like they do in real life. They are put in places that tempt you to get too close. They are rather easy to avoid with good course management though.

    The minuet you learn to play like a pro from the bunkers you’ll stop landing in them 😂 

    it’s rare I hit a bunker anymore, always think one shot ahead and try to stick the ball in a position of the fairway where you don’t have to hit over a bunker (especially if you don’t have high trajectory irons). 

    of course there’s some holes that you have to go over the bunkers if you’re looking for an eagle (kiawa #2 for example) but if you’re happy with a birdie you can always play around the bunker until you’re more confident 😊

    So true.  But worse (?), when you rarely land in them, you forget how to play them.  I believe I was a better bunker player 4-5 years ago.
