Question: | "The USGA says "bunker" and I say "trap." What real difference does this make to golf course maintenance?" |
Source of Question: | Indiana |
Answer/Response: | "Perhaps none, and yet there could be significant impact. There are activities a player cannot do in bunkers that are acceptable on other areas of the course. This means that a defined edge is important to properly apply the rules. The use of incorrect terms suggests ignorance of the rules, which suggests the maintenance program may not be accommodating proper application of the rules. Terms and definitions provide the foundation for the rules, the game of golf, and course maintenance." |
