Bunker update

     Today Schaefer-Meyer was working on holes 13, 14, and 16.  They removed all old drains and pulled sod out that they cut last Friday.  They did a little shaping of the bunker.  They need to make sure bunkers will drain if we get rain before they can finalize the exact location of new bunker.  Bunker floors needs to slope towards drain outlet.  Art Schaupeter will be here on Friday to make final changes to shaping on these 4 holes.  You will see that a lot of sod has been cut around all bunkers, some sod was cut all the way to edge of greens.  They have to over cut sod so they can do the reshaping.  They will be taking and adding soil where they need it or don't need it.  Bunkers will not be at the edge of greens.  A lot of them will be a little closer than they were.  Art will gives us the room we need to mow and maintain our greens and surrounds.  The hard part of all of this reconstruction is to make the new bunker match our current green location.  Art's job is to make sure everything transitions from green to perimeter to bunker to rough.  When they are done you would have thought this is the way it was designed from the beginning.

Digging out old drain lines.  They load material in Skid Loader then take it to Dump Truck to be hauled away
