Bunkers at Harding Park PGA championship

I kind of enjoyed seeing the players have to play from thinned out bunkers with just a veneer of sand.
A little more of a challenge than the usual perfect sandy bunkers they play on tour.
I griped less about our bunkers Sunday.

Phil said it best in the booth "well Jim it is supposed to be a hazard"

I remember one year when Nicklaus removed every other tine on the trap rakes, and then raked the traps perpendicular to the green to make the traps true “hazards”. The players bitched so much, he didn’t do it again.

For most weekend golfers bunkers are more costly than actual hazards statistically.
You can always drop out of a hazard in one.

This is true, the tour players will take a green side bunker shot all day at most places with thick fluffy sand over being in thicker grass.

So many times these Tour guys aim for the bunkers.
That’s one way to protect the course without making it longer or adjusting the ball...let the bunkers become true hazards again. The staff at Tamahka Trails could give an instructional.

You could hear Jason Day say "Oh that's not bad" when he landed in one sunday and his tone was noticeably perfectly fine with the shot.
