Bunkers..

Currently, we have begun working on the bunkers.  We have 65 bunkers on the course and this project will keep us busy for the next few weeks.  First, we are cutting a new edge on all of the bunkers.  As illustrated in the photos below, the edges become ragged over time.  Cutting a new edge provides a much cleaner appearance and allows us a defined edge to trim and maintain.  Next, we will begin checking sand depths and moving sand around the bunker to provide a consistent depth. New sand will be added to the bunkers where needed as well.  This will help improve playability and consistency.  However, many of the bunkers drain very poorly, leading to continuous wet sand that is very firm. To alleviate these conditions the bunkers at some point will need new drainage and sand.
