This last week was filled with some of our early season projects. Because the weather has moderated and turf growth has slowed we have been able to knock out some "to do's". The first project was edging of our bunkers. This can be a time consuming job as the elements over the winter tend to migrate the sand into the bottom of the bunkers.
The first step is to cut an edge around the bunker. We try to remove as little material as possible so the bunkers don't get larger every year. Once that is cleaned up the sand depth is checked throughout the bunker to figure out where the sand needs to be moved. Then using the bunker rake with a blade attachment is used to push the sand into the areas that are deficient.
As this is taking place a couple of people take landscape rakes and spread the sand out evenly by hand.
The finishing touch to the process is raking the bunker smooth using the bunker rake for the bulk area and hand raking the edges.
