#1 fairway bunker

Work is continuing on the new fairway bunkers on number 1. All the old sod is peeled off the faces, the sand is removed and the old drainage is gone. Today we will have all the new drainage (6") exits put in the ground and hopefully start on some of the smaller (4") in bunker drainage. The new bunkers are rough graded in and things are starting to take shape. There is still a lot of work left but we will get as much done as we can before the rain tomorrow. I'm including many pictures but if you want any more just let me know because I take a lot (film is cheap these days).

Peeling sod.
























First bunker off the tee











Second bunker off the tee











Third bunker. 











Willow roots growing into the old drain lines. This helps explains why this bunker held so much water. 



















Main drain line exiting bunker. Each bunker will have a 6" solid line draining to the creek or pond that all the 4" corrugated lines will tie into. 



















Back filling with pea gravel. 


















Trenching for the 4" lines. 











We'll continue to keep you updated as we progress.
