In fact, I would argue that the short right bunker is better, and more appropriate than the left greenside bunker...


The left bunker collects shots that miss the green. The right bunker keeps balls from the green.


Ed,


Actually the average player had the most fun shot on the course when they watched the ball disappear then reappear on the green.


I remember when they told me “Mike, we are replacing the ugly evergreens with a bunker “.  Since the trees were farther to the right I gave in. Of course they had to put the bunker in the line of play!

And I always thought putting off the 8th green was the most fun shot.
