Bunker Renovation Update

With the remainder of the season extremely busy on the golf course, we have scheduled the renovation to begin November 2nd. I have been approached regarding the renovation and the various discussions that have taken place over the summer as to how the renovation will be completed. Our biggest issue is the liner migration. Once we have corrected the migration issue by removing the liners, the sands playability will improve. The process is as follows:

- Remove existing sand from the bunker and stock pile.

- Remove all liners and staples.

- Retamp base of bunker and add any clay to correct any bunker structural issues.

- Several bunker surrounds will then be resodded at this point.

- Add new sand to existing stock pile to ensure proper quantity and sift together. Sifting sand together will ensure there is no noticeable difference between the new and existing sands.

- Sand will them be placed back into the bunker at a depth of 2" of sand on the faces and 4" inches of sand on the base.

- Sand will them be rolled and tamped to ensure proper compaction.
