In the short story SAND TRAP from The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour Volume 6 (Vol. 6.1 in paperback) - https://www.louislamour.com/shortstory/collectedShortStories6.html - Louis L'Amour's personal experiences and intimate knowledge of the desert allow the main character to, in the noir style of the times, turn the tables on his antagonists. Sand Trap - From the Listening Hills BEFORE HE BECAME fully conscious he heard the woman’s voice and some sixth sense of warning held him motionless. Her voice was sharp, impatient. “Just start the fire and let’s get out of here!” “Why leave that money on him? It will just burn up.” “Don’t be such an idiot!” her voice shrilled. “The police test ashes and they could tell whether there was money or not…don’t look at me like that! It has to look like a robbery.” “I don’t like this, Paula.” “Oh, don’t be a fool! Now start the fire and come on!” “All right.” Monte Jackson held himself perfectly still. Despite the pounding in his skull he knew what was happening now. They believed him dead or unconscious and, for some reason, planned to burn the house and him with it. LATER IN THE STORY, MONTE USES HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE DESERT TO ... ENCOURAGE HIS ANTAGONISTS TO CONFESS THEIR CRIMES . . . Monte took a pull at the canteen and rested in the shade of a clump of brush. Walking was okay but the running did not do his head any good. When he looked again they had started on and made almost half a mile. Paula Burgess looked beaten. After a while he moved to follow, staying in the shade from the nearby ridge. When he again saw them they had stopped and were seated near some salt bush. They had reached the fork of the old desert trail. From this point it branched south and then west to Keeler and north across the vast waste of the Saline Valley, waterless and empty. Paula had her shoes off and so did Ash. Obviously, they’d had enough although they’d come just five miles from the jeep. From where he crouched in the shadow of a rock he could see their faces were beginning to blister, and their lips looked puffed and cracked. #louislamour #westerns #shortstory #sandtrap https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBpciWPp_K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What to Do in a Golf Sand Trap

Navigating a golf sand trap, often referred to as a bunker, is a skill that every golfer should possess. Here's what to do when you find yourself in a sand trap:

1. Choose the Right Club:

Use a sand wedge or a lob wedge for optimal loft and bounce to help lift the ball out of the sand.

2. Widen Your Stance:

Position your feet shoulder-width apart for stability.

3. Open the Clubface:

Rotate the clubface slightly open to increase loft and minimize digging.

4. Aim Behind the Ball:

Focus on hitting the sand just behind the ball, not the ball itself.

5. Dig Your Feet In:

Take a slightly deeper stance to prevent slipping during the swing.

6. Use a Splash Shot:

Make a steep, aggressive swing, splashing the sand onto the green and propelling the ball out of the trap.

7. Follow Through:

Complete your swing with a full follow-through, ensuring your club continues in the direction of your target.

8. Maintain a Light Grip:

Avoid gripping the club too tightly; a lighter grip allows for better control.

9. Visualize the Shot:

Visualize the desired trajectory and distance, focusing on executing a clean sand shot.

10. Practice:

Regular bunker practice is essential to hone your skills and build confidence when facing sand traps on the course.

Remember that confidence and technique are key when dealing with sand traps. With practice, you can turn a potentially challenging situation into a chance for a successful recovery shot.

Grains of sand

f

a

l

l

Into a pile at your feet 

You look the hourglass

In the eye

And ask it how it had the

GAUL

The

NERVE

To break right in front of you

And spill itself all over your shoes

Now muddied with 

time

i

m

e

You pinch a grain of sand

Between your fingers

And flick it into some

A   B   Y   S   S

Where it lands and stays forever

The smallest piece of a moment

Discarded

Forgotten

Rejected

Because it had the 

AUDACITY

To ruin your day

Your life continues

With a Satisfaction

That you have control

That time can be willed as you see fit

That it takes but a flick to move forward

Move on

But

Little did you know

The abyss where landed the grain

Was a fold in your brain

One of its many

C

 H

  A 

   S

    M

      S

And now the grain sits

And agitates

Any time things are shaken

You then are brought back

To sand filled shoes

And a smoldering anger

And a quiet, aching regret

SANDTRAP FLAT - a residential lot by amoebae

--- Part of my Oasis Springs rebuilding project ---

A quiet little traditional desert home, perhaps past its best but well-loved and full of character.

---

The only custom content used was my Shiftable Mirrors (which lets you move mirrors freely on the wall). If you don't have that installed you might find any wall mirrors disappear. If that happens, you can simply replace them with whatever you like.

I have every build/buy pack and kit (except Bust the Dust!) and used a lot of them for this build. Anything missing can be replaced with whatever you have in your own game.

You can see some screenshots of the lot here: https://imgur.com/a/taDCX5Z
