  The Strath Bunker in St Andrews comes to mind.

  Doesn't 18 at Carnoustie have the Johny Miller Bunker? Or is it a different hole?

  What others come to mind?

  If Pete Dye had one named after him what would it look like? Old Tom?

The Dick Tracy bunker at Cantigny in Wheaton. (On the old estate of the Tribune Company's founders the McCormicks.

The Eric Smith bunker (at Arcadia Bluffs):

Weeellllll...............there's the Shoe Bunker in the middle of the second fairway at Pacific Dunes....perfectly fitting into the strategy of the hole.

Named after the esteemed greeter at Bandon Dunes, Shoe Gaspar!

Legend and lore has it that Shoe hand dug the bunker by hisownself.

Summer winds at Bandon for this week's One Hundreth Oregon Amateur Championship.

[Garland Bayley]

I think they should have a Tom Jefferson bunker at the resort. That would be sure to cause the comment, "I didn't even know the third president played golf."

[Anthony Gray]

  Eric,

  Stop dressing like John Mayhugh.

[Bill_McBride]

There are also the Krugers at St Andrews, and Deacon Sime..... and more I think.

Eric, reminiscent of the "Sands of Nakajima!"

[Garland Bayley]

Eric,

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?

[Steve D]

Not sure if its the "official" name but my caddie at NGLA referred to the bunker on the 17th as the Liz Taylor bunker because its had as many balls on its lip as Liz Taylor.

Or as you can attest to Bill, the more recent "Sands of The Dunes Club" 

Garland,

I suppose I should've picked up or hit it out sideways -- was very very very tired at this point of the trip. 

[Anthony Gray]

  Eric,

  Its hard to hit a bunker shot wearing an eye-patch.

Argghh!

How about people named after bunkers.  I had a caddy at The Old Course named Kenny who's nickname is Cartgate because he backed into that bunker once while trying to read a putt.

Bogey

There's the Gard bunker on #18 at Rolling Meadows. A greenside bunker on a short, downhill par 4 where Alan Gard's ball ended up 3 out of 4 rounds. Sometimes with his driver or fairway wood off the tee, sometimes with an approach shot after he laid up, and sometimes with a chunked pitch shot. I don't think I ever saw him putt into the bunker, but that was just because the greens we're usually shaggy.

[Bill Brightly]

Not sure if its the "official" name but my caddie at NGLA referred to the bunker on the 17th as the Liz Taylor bunker because its had as many balls on its lip as Liz Taylor.

Steve, you beat me to it! My caddie told me the same story, apparantly a long-time caddie made up this name. Here is a picture of Lizzie, but it is hard to see it. It is NOT the white sand that you see in the foreground but rather the bunker you see just past that, the one that the 3 tracks are pointing to

[Tom_Doak]

There is actually a "Bradley" bunker at Old Macdonald that I predict may some day become famous ... although not for its effect on play!  [This is a very inside joke, which you'll all be let in on, but not for 9-12 months.]

[Aidan Bradley]

Tom,

Is it a very "scenic" bunker?

Aidan.

[Tom_Doak]

Not especially, Aidan.  I'd call it a "composition" bunker, giving the player something to look at off the tee, even though it should be carried by anyone and they would've found trouble in that spot even without a bunker.  I will let Dr. Klein explain it someday ... he hasn't even seen it yet, and he surely doesn't know why it'll be famous.

[Aidan Bradley]

Thank you Tom. Maybe I will get to photograph it some day and appreciate the underlying nuance. Better still, play around it.........

[Garland Bayley]

Over it Aidan, over it!

The "Johnny Low" bunker on the 17th at Woking.

Is that a big bunker or a small man? :

[Scott_Burroughs]

Shivas,

I personally had called that SH bunker on #4 'Figurine', from this prior picture, taken of someone who looked like one:

[Jay Flemma]

I say this because I absolutely love this picture and with the utmost respect...by all that is good and right and Holy in the world, if there was ever a bunker that, for all time, should be named after someone, it's this one:



I'll leave it to you guys to name it...

Is that not Big Bertha?

[Jeff_Mingay]

I doubt the club will acknowledge the name over time, but there's a coffin-like bunker behind the 14th green at Sagebrush Golf and Sporting Club we dubbed 'Penguin's Bathtub'.

It was the first bunker Philippe 'Penguin' Binette dug for us, at Sagebrush
