Huntingdon Valley's first hole (A nine) has a back bunker, hidden from view. Can't recall any others at this stage.
Mark Fine - I was at Plainfield last Wednesday, when were you there? Were you impressed with the recent progress?
Joe Hancock - I think Merion #12 has bunkering on the left and right, although if you approach it from the wrong angle (as I did) then it is bunkered front and back. And, man, that front/right bunker is really deep. The road is behind the back/left bunker of course.
Merion seemed to use bunkers in a lot of places similar to the earlier post, ie hard up against a boundary fence. A lot of greens (perhaps #7, #10 and #12) are within 10 yards of a boundary, with sand between the fence and boundary. It seems to work to maximise the available ground.
