Question: | "We purchased very expensive sand for our bunkers. Any tips regarding how to keep the sand clean?" |
Source of Question: | Wisconsin |
Answer/Response: | "There are many sources of bunker sand contamination, such as erosion during washouts, deep tillage with motorized rakes, etc. Courses have had relatively good success using the new generation of bunker liners to prevent soil contamination from the base of the hazard. An often overlooked source of contamination is organic debris from grass clippings and leaves. Make an extra effort to blow clippings and leaves out of the bunkers before tilling the sand with rakes." |
