It is a common misconception that links bunkers have always been revetted, because most links have<br />

been using this method since the late 1970s to early 1980s. The old photos of most links show that styles<br />

have varied significantly over the years and that all links are not locked into revetting as a style.<br />

These photos show that <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Gailes</strong> has always had a mix of larger rough edged bunkers, cleaner<br />

edged large and less deep bunkers (particularly in drive landing areas) and deeper, pot-style revetted<br />

bunkers, especially around greens.<br />
