As with almost everything
we do on a golf course, there are some limitations Mother Nature being the Biggest!!
There was more heavy rainfall February 26 1.25 inches yesterday causing more
bunker washing. The already saturated soils from the rainfall on February 22 of
1.22” and February 23 of 1.29” added to the major washing you see in the
pictures.
The major cause
of the washing is from the steep
slopes and faces collecting the rain fall and funneling it into the bunkers. Although the repairs were made this morning
after the rain stopped it is very labor intensive for the crew which has to
shovel and hand rake all 61 bunkers.
