Hell Bunker, 1915- An old story
« on: December 02, 2003, 01:00:54 AM »
From a column by Tillinghast in Golf Illustrated, 1915:

Quote
This reference to Hell Bunker calls to mind a post-card which Ben Sayers sent to his old rival at St. Andrews, when the little North Berwick pro' was in America last. He addressed it to:
Andrew Kirkaldy,
    Hell Bunker,
       St. Andrews,
            Scotland.
"I lost his address," explained Ben, "but I thocht it would find him."
And it did.

Tommy,

Are you referring to Hell's Kitchen?

Mike either the Kitchen or Pulpit. It doesn't matter, their both great challenges!

Read a great story about the Pulpit the other day.

Somebody asked a caddy at TOC how the Pulpit bunker got its name. The caddy said it got its name because you can see Hell from it.
