Sand Traps on golf courses - better called “Bunkers” cause great trouble for most golfers. How is that these demons came about to be the scourge of most ordinary golfers?

Amazingly bunkers came about due to geography and topography surrounding the origins of golf and golfing on the windswept desolate Scottish early historic golf courses/ because these holes were sheltered from the cold Scottish breezes, sheep would take refuge in these areas. Thus the holes expanded. When this land came to be used for golf pursuits, it was often too much hard work and time for grass to grow back. Hence the locals took advantage of the sheep’s efforts and fashioned sand filled bunkers from the holes.

On these old courses, the golfing greens were sited so as to maximize the bunker’s threat to golfer’s shots. Hence the sand traps, properly called “Bunkers” came to be named “hazards” in the rules of golf and golfing. Later on in golf and golfing course architecture, golf architects would place these insidious “traps” so as to penalize wayward shots. As a result golf course bunkers are seldom in the middle of the golf fairway - they are usually on the sides of the golf course fairways. Talk about mean and sadistic.

How deep is the usual bunker? That is like asking - what is temperature in New York or what the temperature in Winnipeg, Canada is. It all varies depending on the course , type of sand, the golf course greens keeper preferences and laziness and even the time of year and weather - making a difference as to how wet the sand is and how much has blown away. The usual depth of the sand in a golf bunker can be said to be generally 2 inches in depth. This amount does stop the golf ball form burying too much on landing bit still provides a decent cushion for the escape shot.

Sand bunkers can be the most frustrating and feared part of most golfers. It is the last places most want to be in or finish. It’s a reasonable fear but then again why should such simple sand in a hole cause so much grief on the golf courses of the world?

Fear of the golf bunkers need not be pervasive. It all comes down to a lack of technique, understanding and lack of practice of dealing with these shots. On top of that many golfers will only hit the ball harder getting even angrier all the time.

It all comes down to preparation and practice. Your local golf pro can show you easy tips. Most people never practice sand bunker golf shots. It’s akin to a belief that if you never go near the water you will never. However in this case you will play golf, and at some time you will end up in the sandbox - properly called the “bunker”.

Take the time during the golf season or better yet in the off season to ask your local golf pro for some help and tips on how to get your golf ball out of the horrible sand bunker. If you want to reduce your golf tension level and frustration level as well as reduce your golfing score this is time and money more than well spent.

RAMO asked:


I work at a golf course where we have more than 300 days of sunshine, a couple months of rain but not extremely cold, and near 100 degree summers. There are also three man made lakes that serve as resevoirs for the water system that irrigates the course. These ponds are devoid of fish. I have asked my managers about this and they seem to think that the water is just too toxic and inhospitible for fish to live due to their belief that the water is too acidic/toxic due to duck poop and other things. I don’t know if they are right because there are plenty of ducks that come to feed on the algae and other plant life that lives in the lakes. I am on a mission to bring fish to the lake. I want to know a hardy, proliferate fish that will eat plant life.

P.S. There is a stream that is pump operated so there should be oxygen in there, otherwise the plants should provide the oxygen, am I right?

There are various features of golf courses that will draw golfers as well as homeowners to the site, and most of them revolve around its look. They fancy lush fairways and conjure up undulating hills, dazzling waters streaming by and white sandy hollows. The golf course should be set in picturesque environs and maybe a decent, peaceful neighborhood, in the background. Of course, it is possible for you to express all this through ads to prospective clients, but just consider how powerful aerial photos of golf courses can be in depicting the course to people.

The aim of aerial photos of golf courses is to provide attracted parties a general notion of what the golf course has to offer. Snapshots taken from an overhead helicopter or plane reveals the complete course, showing the real course size, in addition to the general layout.

Aerial photos of golf courses point out the risks involved along the route, the position of each putting hole and green, and provide an impression of the differences in elevations right through the course. You can also view the adjacent area, the foliage or bushes that border the boundaries of the golf course and those that lie yonder.

In most states situated in the Mid West like Colorado, you will discover that the majority of golf courses present splendid Rocky Mountains scenes on the horizon; aerial photos of golf courses prominently highlight this feature to potential clients, thus doing away with the need to be present in person to catch sight of this spectacle on the golf course. Besides, you can view the nearness of houses to the golf course, comprehending how close the risk is at striking a ball into somebody’s backyard or, perhaps, how near to the fairways you can reside.

A further benefit of aerial photos of golf courses is that they reveal how secluded the course location is. Although many are in favor of an easily reached golf course, it is not very attractive for the course to be close to the freeway with just a chain link railing as a partition. All this is made obvious by aerial photos of golf courses, and that is the reason why they are considered terrific promotion tools.

You can come across services that indeed dedicate themselves to making available aerial photos of golf courses by just conducting a simple online search on the Web. Quite a few of these sources also supply mapping, GIS sources, as well as digital imaging of golf courses. Inserting these images in your website or maybe having aerial photos of golf courses as part of your ads can make a huge difference in the returns gained from your marketing investment, thus yielding a higher profit margin.

What are your opinions on Mr. Trump’s plan to build the world’s finest golf course in Aberdeenshire? Do you feel that the potential economic boost and increase in tourism in the area outweighs the destruction of the rare sand dunes and wildlife living there? Do you feel the development should go ahead or not, and why?

Many golf enthusiasts decide not to pursue a career in the field because they are afraid there are not enough jobs available. However, the golf industry is quite large, and with such a variety of possible positions that no one who has chosen golf as a career need fear unemployment or underemployment. The possible positions listed below represent golf course jobs, only a small slice of what is available in the golf industry.

Golf course training and instruction: Golf is an incredibly popular sport, which means that there is always a wealth of aspiring golfers seeking instruction. Many golf courses keep several instructors on staff. Providing training right there on the golf course means convenience for customers, more money for the golf course, and, of course, more jobs for professional golf experts.

Clubhouse food service crew and management: One of the types of golf course jobs that no one ever thinks of is food service. However, restaurant-quality food and drink is often the cornerstone of a golf course clubhouse, as it offers refreshment and creates a comfortable atmosphere. Golf course jobs focused around clubhouse food service include the kitchen’s crew, chefs, wait staff, and management.

Grounds care: The entire existence of a golf course is dependent on the condition of the grounds. Therefore, some of the most important golf course jobs are related to grounds care. Chemical technicians handle the fertilization and other chemical care of the grass, while irrigation specialists ensure that the grass is well watered. A turf manager or groundskeeper oversees all of the grounds care personnel.

Equipment operation and maintenance: The daily business of running a golf course requires the use and maintenance of many pieces of equipment. Golf course jobs usually include equipment operators, who are overseen by an equipment manager. A maintenance team, including crewman and a maintenance manager, keep the equipment in good working order and handle maintenance scheduling.

Golf merchandise sales and store management: A merchandise store is another important facet of any thriving golf course and clubhouse. An on-site store provides a convenient place for members to purchase equipment and clothing. Personnel needed to run the store usually includes sales associates and at least one manager.

Human Resources personnel: As you are no doubt beginning to see, a successful golf course represents a coming together of many different employees. As with any such workplace, a successful golf course usually includes a team of Human Resources personnel. These professionals handle tasks such as the hiring of new employees for available golf course jobs.

Public Relations or advertising personnel: As a thriving business, many golf courses must also manage a great deal of public relations interactions, such as advertising. Golf course jobs therefore include positions to handle the writing of advertisements and video scripts, the photographing of the grounds for colorful ads, and a spokesperson to handle all communications with the press.

Golf course management and ownership: A golf course is a well-oiled machine, but in order for all the moving parts to remain in good working order, there needs to be a manager to oversee it all. The manager may also be the golf course owner in some cases.

As you can see, there are many golf course jobs available. The careers described here are only the tip of the iceberg. The golf industry also includes areas such as pro golfing, tour planning and management, and luxury golf resorts. With the range of positions available throughout the industry, no one trained for a golf career need ever worry about not being able to find a job.
