That bunker is there to keep the "non tour" players in the US Open from winning, duh!

I like Chambers Basement!  But then again, I like wicked, nasty bunkers.  It's not a pot...it's humungous, but with really steep sides!



I wouldn't want to be operating the flymower on this bunker.  Is that even how the turf is cut around this bunker?

I would give the edge to Old Mac only because "Chambers Basement" tarnished the 18th hole at Chambers Bay.

That bunker was referred to as "the Brazilian" a while ago.
It's all about the golf!

This stupid picture clearly shows how out of character with the rest of the course that stupid bunker is. Why do we need a bunker to keep the pros from hitting it exactly where we hackers will be trying to hit it?

It's completely out of place

Wasn't it Mackenzie that said no bunker is unfair?

And by the way, I'm shocked no one's made a wisecrack about my hat ;D :o
