Guys who want to eliminate bunkers, etc., so they can afford...

[Dan Herrmann]

Read a really good quote from an architect on GCA.com today:  "I can't believe how many guys there are who want to eliminate bunkers, etc., so they can afford to keep their 21 mowers and impress everyone with (great turf)".

Got me thinking:
 - What sort of features built in the last 20 years may not see the next twenty years? 
 - Is the architect's thinking correct - are owners/green committees more interested in perfect turf than an architecturally interesting course?

[Garland Bayley]

You don't need that many bunkers to have an architecturally interesting course. A lot of courses are built with too many eye candy bunkers for the bunker fetishists.

To your second point:

yes, yes and yes again... In Ireland (and to a lesser extent the UK) anyway... and that's because their customers look for condition first and foremost...

If we want to change that, all 1,500 of us need to take up our pens now and start changing the culture...
