Bunker project update

The bunker project continues to go smooth.  So far the greenside bunkers on 16, 18, 1 thru 5 and 7 thru 9 all have sand in them.  The gravel was sprayed with the polymer in 10 thru 13 yesterday and sand is getting installed in those bunkers today.  The old material was removed and drainage repaired in the bunker on 14 yesterday and gravel was installed.

Frost Delay

We do have a frost delay this morning.  Given the consistent cold weather yesterday combined with the fact that the skies cleared overnight is making for a fairly heavy frost this morning.  The temperature is currently about 31 degrees.

Bunker Project Update

It has been a few days since I posted anything. As of this morning the bunkers on 1,2,7,8,9,16 and 18 are finished. The bunkers on 3,4 and 5 are ready for sand. 6,10,11,12 and part of 13 are cleaned out. Depending on the weather the plan is to get gravel in the bunkers that are cleaned out through the weekend and possibly spray polymer Monday afternoon depending on progress.

#12 extended toward green by a couple feet and toward the tee a few feet 

More Bunkers Sprayed

On Monday the 20th the gravel layer in the bunkers on 2 thru 5 was sprayed with the polymer.  Clean-out of the bunker on 6 continued Monday as well.  Sand is getting installed in the bunkers on 7 and 8 today.

More Sand

The bunkers on 16, 18, 9, 1 and the back bunker on 7 all have sand in them.  The bunkers on 2, 3, and 4 have gravel and clean-out is in process on 5.

We Have Sand in 16 and 18

Sand installation is complete in 16 and 18 greenside bunkers. 6 inches of sand is put in the bunkers and then is compacted down to 4 inches using a vibratory plate compactor. 

Right front bunker on 16 finished with new sand.
