| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses golf course bunkers, suggesting that "beyond the design of the sand bunkers, the selection of the sand to fill the bunkers is the most important consideration that needs to be made." States that "a material consisting mainly of quartz is desired" and that "the largest majority of the particles should be between 0.25 and 1.00 mm [millimeters] in size." Explains that "the more angular and the less round (spheroid) the sand particles, the more stable a surface will be produced." Recommends that "the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the sand should be greater than 20 inches per hour." Mentions that "deeper sands are drier than and not as firm as thinner sands." |
