Good post, Mark
Un-tumbling tumbleweeds in the middle of bunkers are a stupid "design" feature. Was DJR responsible for this at ye olde Pinehurst? If, on the other hand, some thnk they are an intelligent design feature, why restrict them to bunkers and waste areas? Why not patches of "wire grass" in the middle of the fairway? We could call them "center-line un-tumbling tumbleweeds" and half or this DG would find a supportive quote from an article by Major Humblenot-Travesty in the Aug. 1897 issue of Country Life and salivate in anticipation of watching others play courses with these "features."
