I hate 'em. Played my home course from the tips yesterday. This year they cut the edges of a bunch of bunkers kind of sharp, 7" or 8" from lip to sand. I hit three bunkers yesterday. Two fairway, one green side. Too close to the lip in all three. Two shots to get out of two of them, the other hit the lip and ended up going backwards.
The result. Two doubles and a triple. Completely ruined the day. Shot 84. This is not the first time these new sharply cut lips have screwed me over this year. I made a nine on a par 5 about a month ago after hitting a fairway bunker close to the lip and then ended up in the green side bunker next to the lip.
Sharply cut bunker lips suck. You can't follow through worth a damn.
