Anybody watching the pga right now? Morikowa just stood by his ball and took 3 practice swings in the sand, I thought you weren’t allowed to take practice swings from sand?

Didn’t look like it was a hazard, it was greenside

I believe the natural sand areas aren't considered hazard. Just the man made bunkers.

The official text, as released by the PGA this week, goes as follows: Bunkers: There are NO bunkers on the course. All sandy areas, whether natural, specially prepared and/or enclosed by grass and are not in a penalty area are treated as part of the general area.

Thanks Beaver. Still weird seeing someone take practice hacks in a bunker

Common with courses like that where sand is everywhere and also is the cart paths.

They also don't have to rake afterwards.

Dammit, that's what I was thinking but didn't want to overstate.

I think some guys are treating some greenside bunkers like normal. At least I feel like I saw that.
