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.
