| Question: | "Our bunker sand gets very firm of it is not loosened with cultivation techniques. Is there a way we can address this condition without incurring added expense by using labor-intensive preparation procedures? We cannot and do not want to spend more to prepare our bunkers!" |

| Answer/Response: | "Some superintendents use cultivator bars on their mechanical bunker rakes. Bolts can be attached to the cultivated bar and they can be set to achieve a specific depth. One adjustment you might want to make is to turn the head of the bolt to the sand. When the head wears off, it is time to change the bolts. The bolts can be set to a depth that loosens the sand, but does not dig too deep and come in contact with the floor of the bunker." |
