ABSTRACT:
A sand trap practice device includes a one piece, integral trough including a substantially rectangular base and a pair of side rails extending upwardly from the base and extending along opposed longitudinal sides of the base. A flexible tee is attached to the base along the center line of the base extending upwardly from the base substantially the same as the height as the side rails. Visual indicia is positioned on top surfaces of the side rails behind the tee indicative of proper club positioning. Additionally, sand is supported on the base between the rails extending to the top surface of the tee and the side rails. In operation, a golf ball is placed on the flexible tee, a golfer addresses the ball and swings away making sure the club does not hit the ball but instead enters the sand indicated by the visual indicia. The base will not permit the club to dig into the sand to excessive amounts such that the ball will come out of the bunker each time.
