| Abstract/Contents: | "The physical properties of ten conventional sands and ten glass-derived sands were examined for use in golf course bunkers. The ten conventional sands had a range of particle size distributions suitable for use as bunker sands and the glass-derived sands were closely matched in terms of their mid particle diameter D50 values. The glass-derived sand was more angular than conventional sand and this led to a number of significant differences measured in the bunker and testing. The glass-derived sand had a higher penetration resistance, lower depth of golf ball penetration and lower hardness (following consolidation) than the conventional sand. These characteristics will be affected to some extent by the increased moisture content of the glass-derived sand. However, they can probably also be ascribed to the increased inter-particle friction of the glass-derived sand due to its increased angularity. The results suggest that glass-derived sands would perform well as bunker sands, providing good stability underfoot, with some golf ball plugging (to provide a challenging lie), but not as severe as many uniformly graded conventional sands with rounded grains. However, several issues remain to be addressed including the acceptance of a predominantly green coloured sand on golf courses and the players preception to a glass-derived product." |
