I've always loved the name of the bunker at TOC "Deacon Sime". What other names of features so you like?

The Pulpit Bunker, so named because from it you can see Hell.

Liz Taylor bunker at NGLA 17, named so because its had as many balls on its lip as Liz Taylor.  Sure enough, that's exactly where I had a drive end up.

Isn't there a duo of bunkers set of mounds at TOC whose name has the word "bosoms" in it?

EDIT: It's Miss Grainger's Bosoms, on the 15th.

At the Rennaisance Cup last year, one of my playing partners, likely having grown tired of 2-3 days of talk of template holes, took one look at the right knob of the front of the 15th green at Pac Dunes and declared, "that's the Principal's Right Nut!" It definitely stuck.
