HOT TAKE: Bunkers are too easy for pro golfers & a historical look at the use of sand in golf

Last Year

This week we look at sand. Not the beach kind, but the golf course kind. While there are many different types of bunkers in golf, which we also touch on, one of the big takes on this episode is the controversial idea that the pro's have it too easy when it comes to bunker play, and the PGA Tour, LIV Golf, and other professional tours need to take a hard look at whether they should still allow rakes. We also dive into the use of bunkering in golf course architecture over the past few centuries, including a few styles of bunkering, then finish off with a walk through some of golf's most notorious bunker-centric golf courses across the US, Scotland, and England.
