Re:Why doesn't anyone name bunkers any more? Or do they?

Bill,

The Eleanor's teeth bunkers are at Apawamis in Rye, NY. The Women's Senior Open was played there in 2005.

Thanks for getting me to the right course!

Maybe some day they will name a bunker(s) after Hillary!

Only if they are on the left side of the fairway/green.   ;D

Waaaaaaaaaay left (sorry, I'm a Republican ;D).

I believe the big deep bunker on #11 at Whistling Straits' Straits course is "The Sand Box."  I think Mike Strantz deserves to have a few bunkers on his courses names.  I'd like to submit the following:
- Behind the 8th green at Caledonia: Dimples
- Short and right of the green of #9 at Caledonia: Muffin (it looks like a muffin in the yardage book)
- Greenside bunkers aroung #13 at Caledonia: Rapunzels (the hole looks like it has hair, with the green being the head)
- There's a tiny bunker to the right of the green on the 5th at Tot Hill Farm, which should be called 'Rocky,' because a small boulder protrudes into it from the right.  Of course, that name could be applied to many Tot Hill bunkers.
- #2, Tobacco Road in front of the green deserves something like the DAH.  It looks downright nasty.

Some of Yale's bunkers could use names too, although all the holes have names.
