This off-season, we have already attacked a few bunkers by taking out the sand, re-lining, edging to the original shape, and filling with clean sand. The liner in these bunkers was torn and had become a nuisance to the golfers and my staff, peeking out at us on a regular basis. Once the sand finds a way underneath, it is very difficult to stop the liner from pushing up. We will continue working on bunker edging and cleaning until the ground freezes over. Below are some of the pictures from the process:
 |
| The entrance point to this bunker had crept in a good 3 feet on the edges from golfers walking, machines entering, and wind blowing sand out |
|
 |
| The old liner is ripped out and the bunker is edged back to the original shape |
 |
| New liner installed to fit snug against the bunker lip (cut with a blow torch) |
 |
| The new type of liner staple is designed to stay in place during freezing/thawing |
 |
| This is a bunker we have to attack. You can see the lip on the left and back that needs to be removed |
Hopefully you enjoyed the great golfing weather in November.......the cold is near
