Editing Bunker (obstacle)

'''Bunkers''' (sometimes known as "'''Sand Traps'''") are a common obstacle found in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]], as well as [[Earth|Real World]] golf courses. Bunkers are found in almost every single course in the series, proving to be one of the most profound obstacles in all of the spin-off games.

Bunkers are divots filled with sand. They vary greatly in size; they can be a couple of yards wide to close to the length of the entire course. When a golf ball lands in a Bunker, it reacts much like [[Rough]] since it traps the ball. It takes great effort to get the ball out of the Bunker, and it can affect a playing score greatly.

When the ball goes into the bunker, the announcer says ''"Oh, too bad!"'' in the [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|original game]] but nothing in the other games. Also, if the player scored [[Par]] or [[Eagle|hi]][[Albatross|gh]][[Hole-in-One|er]] after their ball went into the Bunker during a Hole, this becomes a '''Sand Save''', which is recorded in the Records.
