Turf Masters made their return over a week ago and quickly started on 1 fairway. The existing bunkers were plowed over and construction of the new traps is well on its way. Referring back to my last post we saw the intended design of the new bunkers. From an overall square footage and relative design standpoint the bunkers are staying the same. They are being positioned a little tighter to the fairway and about 10 yards to the right of their original position. The fresh sand and new drainage will be a massive improvement as the old bunkers had some of the most contaminated sand on the property.
The new bunkers on 1 have been roughed in and drainage has been installed. When sod is ready to be cut in the spring the fine tuning work and sodding will take place. In 3-4 weeks following sodding we will begin hauling out the new bunker sand and completing the work.
Progress will begin on 9 fairway in the coming days. The bunker and mounding will be plowed over and filled in. A new bunker will be constructed in its place. More to come.
