Most number of shots in one bunker and on one hole

In the first club major I played in I found the bunker with my tee shot on the par 3 18th, I finally got it onto the green at the 11th attempt and 2 putts gave me my highest score on a hole of 14.
The worst I have seen is my friend in a comp at Mere, put her 3rd into a bunker on the par 5 16th, I counted 18 attempts to get it out. she finished with something like 24 on the hole.
 
6 for me ,it was the 8th hole at woodlands manor ,a short hole downhill and the bunker is right in front of the green and very very deep as the green is raised . on the day the pin was just over the lip of the bunker ,and i came up a few inches short , the bunker is that deep that you are faced with about an 8 to 10 ft wall in front of you .
as said it took six as i was determined not to be beaten by it ,but in truth it killed me.
 
Well today me and my illustrious playing partners witnessed I believe our highest totals from one of the fourball

And here he is hitting a cracking 12th shot out of the bunker

The great news is he then went and put his 15th shot into another bunker and ended up with a 19 - the good news is he had a shot on the hole :D

Karma was great today :rofl:

Playing for the camera - thought i needed to balance out the good golf before and after and the sure knowledge that we were going to win :D And I have never had a 19 before!
 
Looks remarkably like Adolf Nash.:D

He was closing to pitching a tent in there he was there for that long :D

Hopefully they are refilling the sand for you tomorrow

I've just reviewed the video and after your first shot, you grounded your club, so you better make it a 21!! :rofl:

Shame we didn't have enough battery life to have a full video
 
I picked up after 10 on a par-5 once. As for bunker shots I tend not to frequent bunkers that often (I tend to go for round after round without finding a bunker and then suddenly I'll find 2/3/4 or even 5 of the buggers in a single round) and as far as I can remember I've only ever taken 2 (possibly 3) shots at most to get out of one...:thup:
 
My Club has 57 bunkers so it's almost impossible not to get in a few :fore:

I played a 9 hole course on Saturday, PlaySport East Kilbride , i was informed that it has 50 bunkers spread over the 9 holes, TBH there didn't seem that many:confused:
Luckily i only found 3 of them all on the 2nd 9, that resulted in 2 blobs and a lucky bogie 4.:o
 
Recall many moons ago playing with a mate on a coastal short well guarded par 3. After a handful of shots to escape the bunker he made it onto the top tier on the green. Probably still angry he then over hit the putt onto the lower tier and into the opposite bunker. Was crying with laughter
