Bunker work began this week and will continue through the next 3-4 weeks to prepare bunkers for the season. Crisp edges are being cut to return the bunkers to their original size, and provide definition. Sand is then redistributed, added or removed as needed to provide consistent depths. Hand raking helps smooth the surface, but a little help from Mother Nature in the form of a good hard rain is needed to compact the sand before a final depth check. With the amount of sand we are moving, I do expect some inconsistency in playability during the project, but the short term inconvenience will certainly pay off in the improved playability and aesthetics of the bunkers. The photos below will give you a glimpse into the process.
