Bunkers

     With my summer help back in College it has been a struggle to get bunkers taken care of.  2 of my college boys still work 1/2 days 2 days a week.  Yesterday I had them work on bunkers only to have the work they did get washed out by a down pour at the end of the working day.  It will be a big relief to get these bunkers fixed.  Years of washouts and bunkers that do not drain.  Even after a rain event we had yesterday the bunkers will still be playable with minimal washing.  Bunker work will start after the Borgia men's outing on September 19th.  Some of our bunkers are in very bad shape.  We are going to start removing the sand out of them.  We will play them as ground under repair. Any bunker that still functions will be maintained until construction begins.  The bunker work will be a huge improvement to your course.  Bunkers that do not wash and hold water will be a welcomed sight for me and my crew.  With yesterdays rain that bring our rain total for the month of August to 9.5 inches.  That is over 3 times the average for August.
