Test bunkers completed



This week we finished up our "Test Bunker" project.  On Monday we installed the Capillary Concrete liner in the bunker #13, and in the small right greenside bunker on #14.  We have now completely installed new liner and sand on holes #4, #9, #13, and right side bunker on #14. This liner has already made a huge difference in the appearance of the bunkers.  We will not yet know how well the new concrete liners perform in a heavy rain storm, as it has not rained now for 29 days, and the forecast for the next 2 weeks does not look very promising.  We have installed a total of 3 different sands in the 4 test bunkers, replicating one of them on 4 and 14.  The new sand we have installed during the test is still soft and a little fluffy, but will settle in and firm up over time.  Rain helps with this process too!  Please take note of the different bunkers over the next few months to help us determine what sand to use when we completely renovate the bunkers.
