Bunkers

 Bunkers can be fun sculptural elements that form or pose a green complex in an elegant way. A counter design to the fundamental nature of a bunker, which is to hide and be buried from the forces of nature at play. The Travis and Maxwell designs in the US are great examples of the contrasting style, which flash up to be a focal point of a golf hole. This is a great learning curve for me over the last 12 months. There is still a litany of overused bunkers on golf courses, a hazard of choice for a lazy design solution...
