Major Bunker Renovations
Your eyes may see it but you wont believe it. Can you guess what bunker this is?
The grounds staff have been hard at it over the last 2 days whipper snipping the edges of the bunkers and surrounds and blowing out the debris. Along with this, some major renovations have begun on the bunkers with sand fill to fix up the faces and have softer sand on the bases.
It was a partially freezing morning this morning with a temperature recorded at the shed of 3.5 degrees. The team got stuck into mowing the greens and fairways first and then hit the bunkers.
Keep on the pulse for a retrospective update on works on the course over the last two months as well as progessive updates on future works.
Happy Hitting out there
Regards,
THE SHED
