#1 - I think the only important bunker is the fairway bunker, I'd lose all three around the green.
#2 - I'd lose them all
#3 - I'd lose the short bunker, the left "Redan" bunker, and the back right bunker
#4 - Of the 9 bunkers, I would keep the four around the green and the one big one that juts into the fairway at about 80 yards
#5 - I'd keep the short right one and lose the rest
#6 - I'd lose them both
#7 - Lose the first of the three left bunkers on the tee shot, the first of the two short right of the green (further from the green) and lose the left greenside bunker. Lose three of the six
#8 - Only keep the front left greenside, lose the other two (we have recently removed one as well)
#9 - Lose the two on the hill and keep the one above the green
#10 - Lose the three along the left and rear and one of the two guarding the front right
#11 - Lose the right greenside bunker and one of the two behind the green. Keep the two in the driving zone
#12 - Lose the one right greenside
#13 - Lose the back left and right bunkers, keep the left greenside
#14 - Lose the second of the three guarding the right fairway, and the left greenside...keep four of six on this hole
#15 - Lose the short right bunker guarding the tee shot, keep the big one. Keep the middle (110 yard) layup bunker and lose the two big buffer bunkers on the right and both greenside bunkers.
#16 - the only bunker I would keep is the 70 yard bunker on the right, the other four can go
#17 - Lose both greenside bunkers
#18 - Only keep the left greenside bunker...lose the other seven.
I think most of the low side bunkers out there were put in as buffers to keep balls near the hole being played...this would eliminate much of that. I think this would retain 26 of 81 so a bit higher 20%.
Wayne,
Feel free to post pictures of any of the holes of interest and we can discuss in greater detail.
