Donald Tackles Awesome Abu Dhabi Bunker Shot
By: Golf Shake | Wed 25 Jan 2012
Luke Donald and Martin Kaymer tackle the world's biggest 'bunker' ahead of this week’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship.
The mammoth dune in Abu Dhabi’s Liwa Desert is the world’s largest uninterrupted sand mass made famous by British explorer Wilfred Thesiger’s 1940’s crossing and immortalised in the timeless book: Arabian Sands.
World number one Donald was joined by triple and defending Abu Dhabi champion Martin Kaymer as the awe-struck pair stood amongst 250-foot sand dunes. They should certainly have no fear playing out of the sand at Abu Dhabi Golf Club after this.
“Well that was no ordinary sand-trap!” said Donald, who became the first player in history to top both the PGA and European PGA money lists last year.
“When you spend the vast majority of your time on the course, it’s easy to forget that Abu Dhabi is surrounded by such an enchanting desert landscape. Truly, I was awestruck at the gigantic enormity of it all.”
Kaymer and Donald headline an Abu Dhabi field that is the strongest ever assembled at a Middle East tournament.
