Water Hazards on Links Courses?

Sean - gravel was extracted at Rye, my criticism of the 11th is lack of definition from the tee, basically I never have an idea on the line or distance required.

Which some might say was a good thing?

I always liked the burns at Western Gailles and Sligo for how they were made visible.

What I loved about the burn on the par 3 at Sligo was the way it ran hard BEHIND the green rather than in front. On a fast running links and a hole of a decent length, which I think that hole is, its a feature thats quite daunting. Dare you hit the ball hard enough to get it upto the hole and risk going in the burn.

I've only seen it twice since, on a long par 3 at Cullen played from an elevated tee and again on a good length (190 yards ?) par 3 at Hopeman.

Isn't a cape hole about picking your line and distance?  The definition stsrikes me as quite clear - water right and gorse left.
