Mr. Muldoon, if you remembered your course correctly, you would realise that that bunker is pin-high on the right of the green with a strong wind behind and right to left
I played that shot terribly - What was called for was a delicate splash out to where my golf bag was placed to let the ball run down to the pin. (5th hole at Baltray)
I love that hole posted in Connemara - the long one shot 13th - pretty terrifying.
