This seems to me like a great way of training in an environment that won’t forgive your mistakes at all – I’d recommend it to anyone near a beach, a desert or a usable bunker. Any dangers with this?

About a month ago, I met a South African during a club competition. On the off chance, I asked him if he knew Ernie Els. He said he did and what's more he had played golf with him. I asked if Ernie had given him any tips and he said yes - 'Practice in the sand dunes'.
We are fortunate to have some massive sand dunes here and they are at their best after a light rain. (The balls don't bury as much and will run to a collection point) You are spot on, they are God's driving range and besides being good practice are great to enjoy. Definitely recommended.
