Bunker Lip Gopher Damage

This greenside bunker lip on hole 4 was destroyed by burrowing gophers. There were about 7-8 holes within a foot of the bunker lip between it and the green. We had no other choice but to take a half moon shovel and re-edge the bunker beyond the gopher holes. This widened out the bunker by about a foot but as you can see from the picture, it made a world of difference. When we were making our cut, we scraped back some of the sand to eliminate the possibility of contamination. The excess dirt and sod was scooped onto the tarp and loaded in the back of our cart. After we had a nice smooth edge, the sand was pushed back up towards the bunker lip, and the holes from the gophers were no longer there.
