Brett-Bunker placement on the right? I don't see any bunkers on the right, only the left. Am I missing something? The first thing I noticed was the complete lack of fairway width. How long is that hole? Is it meant to be played directly at the green with the fairway being an afterthought or what?

John,

Under the second picture you should see the bar to scroll across the picture to the right.

Brett,

Hahahaha

But on a serious note, it sort of reminds me of some of the U.S. Open courses where the fairway was narrowed just for the tournament, putting the bunkers off the fairway and almost trumping the rough as a more serious hazard than the hazards themselves.  Why does that hole you posted even have a fairway? Or that bunker?  Who gets to design these things?  ???  Arghh.

Handy. Is that bunker on another hole, or is it really on the hole you have a picture of? I see there is another tee at the top of the hill.
