Because if courses didn't have them, then this website would be called "The Waterhazard.com", and that doesn't have much of a ring to it :-)

Anyway, I think sand traps are one of the little details that makes golf such an original sport. It is kinda weird that in the midst of a basically green playing field, someone decided that they would put oddly shaped sandboxes. It makes the game of golf require a completely different and unique skill. Makes me think Robin Williams' stand-up routine on the origins of golf wasn't that far-fetched at all!
