Everyone was informed that bunkers outside the ropes weren’t going to be maintained and that they couldn’t ground their club in them.

Here’s a more legitimate complaint about Dye’s courses. The best players in the world can’t seem to get around them in less than 6 hours.
If you’re making a bunker that has grass growing out of it and for the most part you can’t tell it’s a bunker, you’re doing it wrong. Gary McCord, whom the great movie Tin Cup is loosely based on, is not a golf rube broadcaster who just loves DJ cause he’s good at golf.

Pete Dye should make more Sawgrasses and less Ocean Courses.
