Abstract/Contents:Discusses bunker construction and maintenance. Explains that a bunker is "a hazard consisting of a prepared ground, often a hollow from which turf has been removed and replaced with sand or the like." Offers "several ideas for improving the quality and perception of [bunkers]", including "improving the sand"; developing standards; encouraging practice; and encouraging equipment selection. Suggests that "there is no way to deliver 'consistent' bunkers and there should never be a guarantee that bad lies will never occur." Concludes that "golf courses and golfers will get on the right track if they acknowledge that bunkers are a hazard inherent in the game, they are not fair and that expert recoveries are far more likey Sunday afternoon on television."
