| Question: | "I'm a good bunker player, but I am constantly frustrated by the fact that the sand in our bunkers is brand new, yet still is not consistent. Our superintendent says its impossible to do. Can you prescribe a treatment that can help us achieve better consistency?" |

| Answer/Response: | "Bunkers are found throughout the golf course, and the different locations make it virtually impossible for them to play exactly the same. Golf is an outdoor game, and consistency is neither possible nor particularly desirable. Even identically designed and constructed bunkers will play differently due to differing exposures to sun, wind, rain, varying levels of play, etc. We cannot recommend anything special aside from having the same sand in all of the bunkers and raking them in a similar fashion. Golfers must take some responsibility and adjust for playability variations that will naturally occur." |
