| Re: No Sand in the bunker
I'm hearing you Nicole... When I first got my first set of Ping Eye2's, I carried this old haggard 5 iron for about 6 months just in case I needed to hit a shot that might scratch the new Ping's!!!!!! I'm just as protective of my new ISI's, though I did get them 2nd hand and they were a little marked already and the old 5 iron is long gone......  If a course is going to be bunkered, I'm with you, the committee & ground staff "should" ensure they are kept in as good playable condition as is possible at all time. Not always easy I know, especially down here in Australia during a hot baking summer where water is an issue. It's around now (Dec - Feb) that some of our clubs/courses start to struggle with water and fairways get harder and more barren and some are forced against their better judgements to go to "Tee Up". Some guys at my club are getting ridiculous length off the tee due to the ground being so hard. Last time out I played with a guy who is long at the best of times, but, this day he drove our 12th hole which is 410m long. NICE!!! But this is discussion fodder for another thread.... Cheers Craig...
