How to use bunker in a sentence?
Just a bad clearance spun off my head, fell right to their guy and quite a finish, we were just trying to bunker down and see out the end of the game.
I’d be lying if I didn’t push it a little bit, i was trying to hit it over the bunker there and hold it up against the wind. The wind didn’t really do much for maybe three quarters of the shot, and it held it up right there at the end. That was just awesome.
It is a bunker, three floors underground, and for me that is not the vision that one should have for that organization, there is a problem where minutes are not published. And even when they are received they are not accurate, in my opinion.
Some holes I really have to hit like two-iron off the tee or three-iron because the fairway is pretty narrow and you don't want to put yourself in the bunker.
Not every single executive would've done it. There are very recent examples of executives who would've essentially climbed into a bunker and not answer every question.
