ALMOST DONE!

Sodding is almost done and now you can see what the new bunker on #1 will look like.  No more steep faced, washed out, always a mess bunker!

Bunker on #1 - Progress!

Work continues toward completion of the right front bunker on hole #1. The drain is in, covered by pea gravel, and today we filled the bunker with new sand and began the sodding process.

More sand has been added.   You can also see the layers of sod that are being laid around the edge.



Another view of the bunker, now full of sand, and the sod work that is going on around it.

Because we are using sod that has been harvested from other places on the course, and we are running out of good places to do that, we are only going to sod the inner and outer edges of the turf area for right now.  The area between will be seeded this afternoon and covered with a protective cover like has been used on the practice green. 

Bunker work continues

Work continues on the right front bunker on hole #1.  The major shaping is completed and in the first three pictures below the white outer line indicates the approximate shape that will eventually be the sand portion of the bunker.  Everything outside that line will be sodded with grass.  The white line you see through the center of the oval is where the drain will be installed.

Looking over the bunker to the green, everything inside the white line will be sand.  Outside the white line will be grass.  The white line through the center indicates the drain location.

Another view of the reshaped bunker.  Notice that we've also added a small berm to the upper side of the shape to aid in diverting water away from the bunker.

And another view, looking back toward the fairway.  The berm is also evident in this photo.

The excavator is used to dig out a pocket for the area that will be the sand portion of the bunker.
