What makes the best (?) greenside bunkers ?
« on: July 17, 2006, 07:41:27 PM »
Is it their immediate proximity to the putting surface ?

Their depth ?

The angle of the face of the bunker ?

A slight elevation on the green side that diverts water but also kicks the ball forward ?

Their collecting nature ?

Their relationship to the putting surface when viewed from the prefered and non-prefered angles of attack ?

Their visibility or invisibility ?

Their size ?

What U.S. courses embody most or all of the above design features ?

Pat:

I like your parameters, but the type I like most are those greenside bunkers that I am not in ;D
