Probably to clarify my question. If the bunkers are supposed to be directional bunkers, then place them "way out." ANd I'm not an architect, but to me, the Ocean Course is hard for the average player.
For someone to hit a good shot to a large landing area and land in the bunker, and get penalized as much as someone who slices it into the marsh, does not sest right with me. Some of the courses that I've played has had centerline hazards, but in some cases, you can play the ball forward. In this case, you absolutely can't because of the marsh ahead. I know, golf is not supposed to be fair, I just feel that the bunkers just are out of place where they are at.
