Bunker Construction

I feel like I'm falling behind on the blog even though the last post was just a few days ago.  There is so much happening on the course that I can't keep up with the pics and descriptions, but it's nice to have plenty of work to talk about.

One of the major projects of last week was the addition of a greenside bunker on #2.  This bunker is part of the Master Plan designed by architect, Cary Bickler.  We only played a small part in the bunker's  construction handling sod removal, irrigation re-routing, and the final tie in with sod, seed and the green surrounds.  The bunker is closed for grow-in right now, but will open as soon as the sod is rooted into the soil, less than a week away.

Here are a few photos of the project.  I think you'll how this bunker plays.  The sand we used sets up really well and doesn't require much time to settle and mature.  Remember, this is the first installment of the "new" Master Plan.  Can you imagine improvements of this kind throughout an already excellent layout?  This is definitely something to be excited about.
