Effective Medical Director Leadership. The role of the Medical Director has become increasingly important over the past year. In addition to the usual 3 year accreditation surveys, many of our centers have experienced arduous validation inspections by CMS. Our medical directors have always been key participants in preparation for accreditation.
The etymology of the word bunker itself is variously ascribed to the 16th century Scots word 'bonkar', meaning a chest, or, by some, to Scandinavian or Old Flemish. The word Bunker in golf does not appear until the 1812 Royal & Ancient rules of golf. The word 'hazard' is French in origin, much as Caddie, reflecting the strong connections between Scotland and France in earlier times. When courses were created inland they incorporated the tradition of these hazards as the Bunker and the Water Hazard.
A golf course is the grounds where the game of golf is played. It comprises a series of holes, each consisting of a teeing ground, a fairway, the rough and other hazards, and a green with a flagstick (pin) and hole (cup). A common standardized type of par-3 course is the  Pitch and Putt  course, where each of the 9 or 18 holes has a distance from tee to cup of less than 100 yards, with an overall 18-hole course distance no more than 1,200 yards (so each hole averages 67 yards).
