For the forward sets, simply place them on the opposite side of the hazard to avoid the trouble altogether. You also can use tee position more subtly. For example, imagine a dogleg-right par 4 with a bunker guarding the inside of the dogleg. The better player eyes this bunker as a challenge, determining whether it can be carried or how close to play to it. For less-skilled players, the bunker may be a more imposing obstacle.
Beginners tend to have difficulty getting the ball airborne.
When they do, they tend to slice. From simple observations like this, we can derive design solutions that help create a more user-friendly course. Hazard placement is one way to do this. Place lateral hazards so that an alternate path around the trouble is available for the beginner. Because of the tendency of beginners to slice to the right, it's best to place the majority of the trouble on the left.
