…“We got to talk… I don’t like your bunker placement on #6. Going right is not an option is it?
My reply, beamed from my cell phone to a satellite in the sky and back to Kai somewhere on site:
No worries… The far bunkers will only be about 20% of the excavation… There will be tons of room with the slopes feeding those hedging into the small far bunker.
On 6 Tee, the design is for a massive fairway with the right side lower and offering a clear view of the greensite. If you hedge and play to the mass of fairway, the slope will shoot your ball further from the hole and you’ll have a semi-blind or blind shot over a collection of river dunes to the green. The bunker Kai was concerned about will be a little scrape with the sloping contours to the left feeding the ball of players hedging or misplaying into the small scrape of sand. The far bunker will be an afterthought for most players; so small that nobody will think it has relevance, but one where the surrounding contours and clever placement will feed balls to it.
LOL . A concerned owner's note. (Can laugh as we know each other fairly well now).
