Landings suitable for bunker practice

[LONG_KEELER]

Thought I might combine cruising with some helpful golf practice at the same time. Sand Iron will fit nicely in the tender. There never seems to be a bunker to play in at driving ranges.

Where might there be nice sand with a chance of finding the balls again ?

Plenty of sand to play on in the Wash....

I think on a big springs, you could have a bit of fun on the Middle Sunk! And there's always the Buxey!

I am not a golfer. However I thought bunkers were full of dry sand, not hard wet stuff?

Need to land somewhere with dunes, there are a lot of these on the Norfolk coast, but perhaps not many very easy to land at. Wells perhaps?

A possible alternative, Harwich town beach is sandy in places with soft sand above high water, could anchor off or pick up a mooring between the Guard shoal and the breakwater.

Thanks for the suggestions lads !

Hacking away on the Middle Sunk sounds pretty cool to me.

Think I might do a reccy by car first on the areas suggested.

The sand at Harwich is very good but I could possibly thin one in the direction of the Pilot Station or VTS.

Don't want people to think i'm some kind of nut !

If you see me practising on the East Coast please come on over and see how well i'm improving.

A reccy of the middle sunk by car would be an interesting exercise in itself

Pye sands at low water, Barrow sands might also be interesting at LW, we anchored in the Barrow swatchway once surrounded by 'nice' sand.
