Tom, that whole Merion bunker fight slightly predated my time here, but looking at the pics Craig linked to, there is something odd about many of them. They seem to have about a 1' high perfectly vertical face to them--is that how they actually look in person or is it a function of the pictures and that I am having a bad contact lens day?
Andy,
What are you, one of those g*d*amn malcontents!?@?
Can't you see they look perfect now? My lord, isn't there enough hair on the lips to cover the matting and shaping?
Stop your screeching and get with the party line this minute young man, or....or...
or, I'm going to send MacDonald and Sons up to Glenbrook to do a bunker "restoration" this minute!!!
Seriously, I do agree with the general gist of this thread that it was a wonderful report with some very good pictures of the splendid golf course. For those who think I'm just a one-note wonder with my bitching about the bunkers, I will admit that Merion is my personal favorite course in the world and I have a picture of the 11th as my computer background. Guess that old perfectionist streak in me can't shut up sometimes.
