Bunker Rehab

Over the last couple of years we have been renovating  bunker faces.  The build up of thatch had created many bare spaces and crevices that caused practically impossible recovery shots.  

This time around we worked on the bunkers on  8,15, and 18.   We began stripping the old patchy fescue grass, and brought it down to bare soil.    

 

 

 Once this was completed,  fertilizer and insecticide was put down in order for the sod to have a better growing environment.  Once the areas were prepped and ready the sod was laid. We used fine fescue this time around Instead of turf type tall fescue.   

 

 

 These areas will be native areas with the grass left to grow long.   This was done to keep the original look and “teeth” of the course.
