Skip hawser, drop into the trays
Sand Loft Corpus Christi, Texas

The crew

Who rakes the trays

Three people. No rotating “fit specialist of the week.” If your confirmation names Marisol, Marisol is in the room. Cole packs. Tessa only joins when leave-speed is on the sheet.

Splash lead

Marisol Reyes

Opened the loft in 2016 after six seasons raking municipal traps around Oso Bay. She treats splash height as a measurement, not a vibe. If the ball does not clear her grease-pencil lip, she will not invent a story about your tempo.

Tray pack

Cole Hargrove

Former superintendent side on Padre Island municipal. He mixes the wet Gulf tray at dawn and tamps the packed beach tray before the first window. He will tell you when afternoon bake has already started, even if the clock says morning.

Leave-speed

Tessa Quinlan

Caddied the Ocean Course stretch for four summers. She watches the first roll after a splash so a higher loft does not get blamed on the putter. She will also tell you to leave the putter alone.

How a window is staffed

Single loft and two-club pair: Marisol plus Cole. Full sand bag: all three if leave-speed is booked. Gift redemptions run the same way as paid windows. Nobody here is on commission for a brand.

Who is not on this dock

Tour vans. Junior clinics. A teaching pro who “also fits.” If you want a swing overhaul, that is a different door in this city. We will say so in the first five minutes rather than take the money.
