Bunker project week 2 Feb 17-24

Bunker project week 2  

Feb 17-24

The second week of the project went well considering we were only able to work 4 days due to all the rain we had.  The Architect was out on Monday afternoon and approved 17 bunker for drainage.  He painted the lines to delineate where the sand will be and the crew dug out the edges to install drain pipe and gravel.  Two inches of gravel go in first then ultimately sod around the bunker and 5-6 inches of sand to bring the bottom of the bunker up to the edge line.  We got the drainage done on the left side bunker on 13 the second week.  To date we have cleaned out 19 bunkers, filled in one bunker and edged 5 bunkers.  The beginning of week three look like great weather, we should be able to drain many more bunkers and get in a truck of sod to tie in the edges.

The bunker project is officially underway, only one day behind schedule.  Rain kept us off the course on Monday, but Tuesday we got the crew started.  We started near the shop to facilitate less damage to the course while transporting material to the dumps site.  Sand, sod and old drain lines are being removed until it dries out enough to start hauling soil back in to shape the new edges.
