Hopefully you've been able to get out onto the course and enjoy yourselves in and around the snow days and freezing conditions. If you have, you might notice improvements to bunkers on holes 3, 7 and 14.

Sodding #7 bunker face
|
We've lowered bunker faces and raised the elevation of the bunker bottom. This should allow for fairer lies in these areas moving forward. Over time, sand blasted from the bunkers raises the elevation of the bunker face; also, erosion from heavy rain lowers the floor of the bunker. These two factors create a deeper bunker face (with a greater depth of sand) which results in plugged lies.
Our efforts have resulted in lessening the depth of sand around the bunker edges so that balls are less likely to plug and more likely to roll to the floor of bunker -- resulting in a fairer shot to the green.
Until grass growing weather, the wooden supports around the bunkers will remain in place. As soon as the sod has had a chance to root, the supports will be removed and the bunkers will be ready for play!
