Getting better at those shots helps the handicap.

It's very tough in Calgary to find good sand practice, I find. I find it difficult to get better as I only end up trying them in actual rounds. McKenzie Meadows has a good practice trap in theory....except they have you smashing it up onto a putting green that usually has 3-5 people on it.
