"Places of penance..."

 As you check out the collection of new bunkers on #15, the words of Bernard Darwin may ring true--bunkers are intended to be penal and therefore should be avoided.  

If you haven't had an opportunity to see the new fairway bunkers on #15, they are visually spectacular.  The one closest to the green is eye-catching, and will be challenging to say the least.  With a downhill lie, and 70 yards to the green, this is a bunker shot that few people practice on a regular basis.



This bunker definitely has the potential to get in a player's head, however there is a bit of good news if you're able to clear it, as the fairway will  be expanded in front of the green to the right.


As noted previously, some elements of the Master Plan are executed more easily than others.  While we've tried to work around irrigation lines during this process, there have been a couple of times when things needed to be relocated.  

The new bunker on the right side of #15 green happened to have the irrigation greens loop going right through it.  Fortunately, this was a fairly easy line to reroute.
