Better Bunkers

We are constantly trying to find ways of improving the way our bunkers play.  The biggest issues for us over the past few years has been stones in bunkers and washouts which makes getting consistant bunkers difficult.  We have trialed a method last summer and this year we have enhanced the method and rolled it out to the 6 Bunkers we have reconstructed this winter.

Step 1
Take one hideous bunker that does not drain and start all over again

 

Step 2 

Reshape the bunker improving aesthetics making it add to the make up of the hole

Step 3 

Install Drainage to a positive outlet and then stone the base follow this with a compactor

 

Step 4

Install a Mix of permeable Resin and rubber mix that will prevent stones from coming through the surface but will also prevent washdown and sand contamination helping to keep sand levels consistent. 

 Rubber troweled to a uniform depth then it is tampered down to give a smooth finish

 

Finished product all ready for final shaping & Turfing.  Sand installation will be in early April.
