Oh, sure the type of sand makes a difference to advanced players but for most amateurs who struggle (or who want to improve) from sand the type of shot and execution shouldn't vary much.

If you play links courses with fine/soft sand you should use the same shot but a SW or LW with much more bounce. If you play courses with harder or thicker sand, you should be using a SW with more loft and less bounce.

Change the equipment to suite the swing and conditions, not the swing to suit the equipment and conditions.
