pretty flimsy arguments, fellas.
it's a freeway down there....this is like the 8th hole at Bandon but without any of the cross bunkers adding interest.
furthermore, that little "road hole" bunker isn't all that deep...
honestly, am I to believe this is a difficult bunker to extricate oneself from?
a Devil's A-hole it is not.....Pine Valley nor Bandon Dunes version. Calling it a "road hole" bunker is disingenuous.
You have played the hole, right Michael ?
I'm not saying the comparison to the Road Hole or Devil's A-hole bunkers is correct, but I thought we were all in agreement that it is difficult to critique a hole based only on photographs.
Yes, I have played Chambers Bay...twice now
Please don't get me wrong, Tom. This is the essence of gca.com, discussing golf holes, their merits, etc...
Years ago we could debate this stuff without folks getting their panties ruffled.
I think CB is tremendous. I think Jay Blasi is a great guy. I think some of the holes out there are spectacular, like 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 11, 13 on in to the clubhouse.
But no golf course is off limits to critique...
