Hello Dave,
I'm not sure "gaunch" is a real word, but it's a term I've heard used--and used myself--on the golf course to refer to an unkempt, gnarly area that you want to avoid. When writing scripts like these, words like "bunkers" and "rough" and "fescue" tend to come up over and over again, so we look for different ways to say the same thing.
If players are going to go for the green in two on the 16th at Whistling Straits, they're going to have to carry the ball some distance across an area of depressed bunkers and fescue--the gaunch.
