Flashback: "Let me say that I saw flesh-and-blood children digging up rocks and building sand castles in bunkers overlooking the eighth green."**

John Garrity, on Wednesday of PGA week, foreshadowing the inevitable questions about Whistling Straits's sandy hazards with two styles of maintenance, two types of preparation and most definitley two types of supervision.
The sand hazards at Whistling Straits are unlike those at any other major championship. Roped-off spectator paths lead you right into the sand, which is neatly raked on one side of the rope and churned up like a child's sandbox on the other. And before you challenge that last metaphor, let me say that I saw flesh-and-blood children digging up rocks and building sand castles in bunkers overlooking the eighth green.
**Nice spot by reader Michael C. of a PGA posted Getty Image of kids playing in a Whistling Straits bunker. Adorable on so many levels. And screen captured here just in case it should magically disappear into cyberspace.
