One sign of a "golfer" playing courses over their head is blaming the course.

As to "ready golf" it is not necessarily desirable on the Championship courses depending on the type of golf being played as there are penalties for playing out of turn(buy the $1 rule book).

The size of bunkers is determined by the difficulty of the hole(among other variables). If you don't have a shot which will carry you over the bunker then you've hit no. 2 for reasons not to play championship courses, or you could always practice a shot you are not comfortable with trying.

By your post you need work on your: putting, sand play(especially fairway)and lob shots...oh also the driver if you keep hitting it off line and into the fairway bunkers.

It is the true golfer who knows their limitations and plays to their strengths....while practicing to reduce their weaknesses....

Very snarky post IMHO.
