The Ross drawings for Athens CC show 8-10 grass bunkers. None still exist. A couple were nestled between fairway sand bunkers and would have heightened the penal nature of the bunker complexes. Others were located in isolation, in one case on the inside of an elbow.
The drawings give no specifications for them, though the bunkers located between fairway sand bunkers seemed to be drawn with very steep walls. But it is hard to tell what Ross had in mind.
There's a fine line between a swale and a grass bunker. I've wondered if Ross wasn't simply indicating a swale in his drawings rather than a distinct bunker with a grass bottom.
Does anyone have pictures of original Ross grass bunkers? What have restoration projects done about them?
