I agree that the sand currently being installed in TV is way to soft. Lopez and TDS are prime examples. When you step into a bunker and your feet sink-in 2-3 inches, you know getting out is going to be difficult, even if the ball is not plugged. In soft green side bunkers I no longer use my sand wedge and seem to get better results with a 9-iron or PW. From fairway bunkers, I find it impossible to use a longer club and mostly use a 7-iron.
