Question:""We have tried many different raking strategies in our bunkers. I have heard that brushes can be used and that they can be fitted to mechanical bunker rakes. Is this true?""
Source of Question:Pennsylvania
Answer/Response:""Yes, as a matter of fact, there are several manufacturers that supply brushes that can be retrofitted to bunker maintenance equipment. However, the machine operator is essential to the success of the technique. A mechanical rake fitted with brushes requires the operator to carefully govern the speed with which the sand is groomed. Excessive ground speed promotes unevenness, with ridges of sand being one of the negative side effects. As with any procedure, practice makes perfect!""
