Discusses bunker design, stating that "bunker design has perphaps the greatest impact on the long-term cost of maintaining bunkers." Discusses the construction process, including the construction of the core, bunker sand, sand installation, and estimates combined costs involved. Details the maintenance practices involved. Concludes that bunkers "are expensive to build and even more expensive to maintain." |

| Note: | Correction appears in USGA Green Section Record, 46(5) September/October 2008: "The July/August issue the Record included an article entitled "The Money Pit," pertaining to the cost of building and maintaining bunkers. Unfortunately, the article contained an error regarding the amount of drainage pipe used in a typical bunker construction project of 100,000 square feet. On page 4 there is a line item for the installation of 1,000 linear feet of drainage pipe at a cost of $5.50 per foot, for a total cost of $5,500. Although the math is correct, a bunker project of 100,000 square feet would require approximately 10,000 linear feet of pipe rather than the 1,000 feet used in the calculation. Thus, the cost of installing the drain pipe would be $55,000. This brings the total cost of the project to $477,440, or about $4.77 per square foot."
