Bunker work
We lost a lot of sand from the bunkers during the very dry and windy spell in July so we're topping up at present. When adding sand to the bunkers we aim for a relatively thin layer a few centimetres deep so that it firms up quickly and reduces the number of plugged lies.
The thunder storm last Friday washed out the sand from many of the bunker faces and edges. Sorting out 101 bunkers that look like the one pictured below is quite a daunting task.
