Bunker Sand Replacement

We will start the lengthy process of removing the sand in the bunkers and replacing with new buker sand.  The initial plan was to remove ALL of the sand in EVERY bunker; however after more closely inspecting every bunker I feel we can reduce this project.  We will now go in and renovate only the bunkers that are in need.  In the other bunkers we only add sand to the top as needed.

Here are a few picture of the process:

1st the old sand is removed

Then it is dumped in the bins behind our shop. 

We will use this sand to topdress fairways and tees this summer

New sand is loaded in the work carts.

New sand is added to the bunkers. 

                                           We use sheets of plywwood is used so the cart                                             

can drive into the bunker and not tear down the edges.

Then we compact the sand with a vibratory compactor.

Then we move around sand by hand with rakes.
