Abstract/Contents: | Interviews several superintendents to discover "what products and techniques they have used during recent bunker refurbishment or reconstruction projects which have helped to reduce the amount of maintenance inputs." Recommends utilizing BunkerMat to reduce sand slip and flooding if a course is located in an area subject to frequent storms. Notes that implementing grass face style bunkers along with an updated drainage system may also be beneficial in tropical climates where bunker wash-out is common. Reports that one superintendent had "re-shaped the bases to be a lot flatter to reduce surface water movement and hence sand movement within the bunker. The result has been a reduction in the time to rake the bunkers, repair after big storm events, and sand contamination is very low." Mentions the potential benefits of using 'Soil Bond' which "requires infusion into several layers while maintaining moisture levels, but well worth the effort." |
