| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses sand testing at Bellerive Country Club in Creve Coeur, Montana, stating that "the [sand] selected was angular, with wide particle distribution, and not prone to plugging as measured by the lab's penetrometer." States that "[testing] is the only way to get a preview of how that sand is likely to act in bunkers...Unless a superintendent has a history with a particular sand product, testing is the only way to get insight into its playing character once settling has taken place." Discusses sand characteristics, including "overall shape and the texture of its surface." |
