For those like moi who are of an age to recall it, I believe that the 1970's UK cops-n-robbers-n-agro-n-car chase TV series The Professionals was part-filmed at Stoke. Apparent so was a Bridget Jones movie, but I don't know anything about that! Not sure golf was involved in either.

I remember the superintendents trade magazine in the UK ran an article on the rebuild of all the bunkers back in maybe the nineties when the course manager of the day was responsible for the implementation. The article definitely stated that he had done an extensive study of Colt bunkering and effectively it was a restoration job. Perhaps he should have studied a little harder. I know the name of the course manager but will not divulge incase he is still there. I also believe Donald Steele was the principle architect for the newest nine!
