What's Sand Trap about? When pro golfer Kenny Monahue is suspended from the PGA tour for fighting, he runs out of luck and money. With a little help from his brother he begrudgingly takes a job on the grounds crew at a country club working under Eric Beemer, a man with special needs. Eric teaches Kenny the game of golf and the game of life from the ground up. John J Vogel met Jacob Price in 2008 while they were both participating in a corporate fundraiser for Special Olympics called Celebrity Winterfest, Jacob on the athlete side and John on the celebrity side, in Lake Tahoe benefiting Special Olympics of Northern California and Nevada. After becoming acquainted at the event, Vogel began mentoring Price (although Vogel’s wife does question just who is mentoring who) through weekly phone conversations and yearly visits to Los Angeles. One day, after they’d played nine holes on the golf course, the outline for Sand Trap was created, followed by the completion of the screenplay. Set in the world of golf, Sand Trap is a dramedy that focuses on the talents and abilities of those with special needs instead of their disabilities.
