| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses bunker remodelling, highlighting "scale, shape, steepness of face, grass or sand faces, lip height, sand colour [color] and texture, maintenance staffing, integration to mounding and 'natural' vegetation features." Explains the potential significance of mounding consistency from course to course, stating that "spectacular feature mounding on one hole of an otherwise relatively flat course will not blend at all." Mentions vegetation and the possible need for "sufficient spacial area [for trees] to create [their] own character zone, and suggests mowing style as a potentially "low or no-cost technique to unify the course." States that "the golf course architect's prime duty is to provide a site suited, quality design solution that is strategically sound, adds to golfer enjoyment and offers sustainable maintenance within the constraints of the construction and recurrent budgets." |
