A sand trap, or sand bunker, is designed to catch errant Golf shots by creating a hazard that players must navigate around. When a ball lands in the sand, it becomes difficult to play due to the loose, granular nature of the sand, which can impede club contact and control. The design of the trap typically includes sloped sides to prevent easy access and to challenge the player's skill in getting the ball back onto the green. Players must use specific techniques to escape the trap effectively, often employing a special wedge and focusing on hitting the sand behind the ball to lift it out.
