Yes, this photo looks exactly like what you think it is. Charlotta is practicing her sand shots by bouncing the sand wedge's sole off a rake handle! What a cool way to learn how to use the bounce!

You can read the article to get the details -- and as I said, there's more to the article than just smacking a rake handle -- but here's what I think is so cool about this: Since you don't need sand to do this drill, you can do it in your backyard! You can use an old broom or rake or whatever you have laying around the house. Lay it on the ground and practice your swing the way Charlotta describes in her article
Just remember that she says to make LIGHT contact with your practice "sand trap." You don't want to have splinters splashing up into your face!
