This zoomed photo
shows more clearly the foothills in the background. These
can be snow covered in winter months. Also note the Italian
Flame tree behind the green, which serves (served) as a wonderful
wind vane. On this day there is a slight breeze from the
right. The bunkers are narrow with surrounding mounds to
draw in balls like a vacuum cleaner. If you land near the
outer (farther from the pin) edge of the sand you face a downhill lie in a deep, narrow
bunker, a serious challenge for average golfers.
