Bunker Edging

Last week the crew put in some hard work re-establishing the bunker edges that have crept in over the years.  Areas where the grass had grown into the sand were cut out and sand was pushed back up into those areas. 

Some areas where the mechanical bunker rake drives out of the sand were also cut out so that those areas can be sodded.  In order to hold back the sod and the soil that is necessary to recreate the edge, small plywood walls were installed in those spots.  When the course dries out this week, we will add soil and sod to finish up this project.  The plywood walls will have to stay in the ground until the sod has rooted enough to hold onto the soil, which could be a few weeks.
