Bunker Edging Underway

#2 Fairway Bunker after recent edging

In an earlier blog post we discussed the different ways that we maintain bunker edges. Occasional sod, blowing sand off faces after strong winter winds, and proper raking are all important factors involved in maintaining a proper bunker edge. Now we are to the point in the year where we begin the more classic form of bunker edging, where we go into the bunker are cut out vegetative growth from the inside of the bunker. We also take this time to check sand depths, and redistribute or add sand as needed. This year we will first edge our fairway bunkers, and then move onto the green side bunkers next. This process is very labor intensive, but the results speak for themselves.
