The outstanding weather throughout November has given us a great opportunity to continue work on our bunker face rehab. Over the years, thatch and sand build up on the steep faces has contributed to the decline of quality grass in these areas. Starting last season, we started a rotation to strip/ resurface the bunker faces, eliminating patchy areas where golf balls wind up causing difficult recovery shots.
