-A BALL in the sand trap must be played as it lies, reminds
Gleneagles head pro Tryg Wenn. Loose impediments (i.e.
_ twigs, stones) cannot be removed in a hazard (i.e. sandtrap).
The club cannot touch the sand or be grounded until the shot
is executed. Also, remember to rake your tracks to ensure fair

lie for other golfers.
