Polymer Spraying of Gravel Layer

The first set of bunkers are getting sprayed today with the polymer.  It takes 24 hours to cure before sand can be installed in the bunkers. 

Front Bunker #4

A lot of members have expressed they are having trouble getting in and out of the deep bunkers on #4. We are extending the front of the front bunker toward the fairway about 5 feet softening the step in and out. This should make the step down and back up much less severe. 

Bunker Project Status Update

The work on the bunkers is progressing smoothly and on schedule to this point.  As of this morning the removal of old sand and liner, drainage repair and gravel layer installation is complete on holes 16, 18 and 1.  The bunkers on holes 2, 7, 8 and 9 are cleaned out and are ready for drainage completion and gravel layer installation.  Old material removal is taking place on hole 3 presently.  Additional drainage has been added in the right front bunker on 16.  The bunker on 9 and the right side bunker on 7 are receiving additional drainage added as well where none existed.  Once the gravel layer is installed in the first 9 holes of bunkers, the plan is to spray the polymer in those bunkers.  The polymer needs 24 hours to cure before sand installation can happen.

Bunkers #7

The front bunker on 7 looks to have shrunk so we are re-establishing the edge. The right side bunker on 7 has a stretch of drainage that needed to be installed where none existed before.

Gravel layer

The gravel layer is installed on the 2 greenside bunkers on 16, the greenside bunkers on 18 and the bunker on 1.  The bunkers on 7 are currently being cleaned out and 2 will be next. The gravel layer will be installed following clean-out and drainage.

Bunker update

With almost 3 days of work complete our contractor, Forefront Construction is moving along well on the bunkers.  The old sand and liner is cleaned out on the bunkers on 16, 18, 9, 1 and 8.  They are checking and repairing the drains within the bunkers as they go.  Currently work is going on in the bunkers on 7 green.  Within the next day or 2, the contractor will start putting gravel into the bunkers getting them ready to be sprayed with the polymer.
