How about those Mae West mounds in this bunker on 7 at Ghost Creek?

The "Braley" bunker is one of the lower bunkers at Pasa's 18th  ;D .

Sorry Kalen, but now you're infamous  ;) .

While in no way official, the fairway bunker on Pennard's 14th is called Bill's Bathtub by myself because Ace McBride is the only chap I know of that has been in it.

Ha ha, thanks Patrick, I knew someone would bring that up eventually.  Its the right lower bunker that got me...and I was All Square going into the last hole too.   :-[  And yes, its much much steeper than it looks.  ;D

It should actually be called "Bill and Kathleen's Bathtub" because we both hit our tee balls into that wee bunker during our round there in 2005!  The forward tee is on a different line.   I thought I hit a decent drive at the marker post.  Kathleen hit a shot toward the fairway on her line.  When we arrived on separate paths, there were our two balls, side by side in this little bunker barely bigger than a bathtub!  Good memory of a great golf course, thanks Sean.  ;D
