What Is The Point In Bunkers?

How did golf course bunkers become such a defining — and sometimes divisive — feature of the game?

In this episode, NCG Top 100s chairman Dan Murphy and host Tom Irwin dig into the origins of bunkers and what the golden age architects really intended when they carved them into their designs.

We explore how bunkers have evolved over time, what they cost to maintain, whether they truly pose a hazard, and why they’ve become such a talking point in modern course design.

From history to controversy to creative solutions, we go deep into the sand to find out why the golf world has gone stark raving bunkers.
