At Shenny, a municipal course, we have wide open fairways, few trees...100 traps. I think 95% are well placed. They make the player think and give them a sense of direction. There are a few that punish wayward shots immediately...Ross did that with short cross bunkers...Also, if one stops a ball from going OB maybe it is well placed. In any event, when some of my clientele are complaining about bunker conditions (after coughing up $25 to walk), and people are yelling "get in the trap" after a mishit, you know golfer expectations are out of control. Our bunkers are far from perfect, and thats the way I like it, it fits the links style, and thats the way it has to be anyway with our budget.
