Scoring

How the result works

Each successful sandy scores one point.

Example: Mark a sandy chance whenever a player plays a shot from a counting bunker.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Counting any bunker escape as a sandy. The player must still make par or better.

Safety: Enter bunkers only after nearby shots are done, then rake and clear before the next player hits.
