THE WEEK IN REVIEW (Pictorial)

This week we refurbished the front green side bunker at the practice area.  The process consists of stripping the sod, re-establishing the edge contour and removing the excess sand.  As you can see from the photo to below, eight inches of sand had accumulated.  Over the course the season, sand is "flashed" onto the face from the numerous players utilizing this bunker.  The location is convenient and is often the only bunker used.  This renovation process will become part of our program at the end of every season.
