#16 Bunker Liner Project

This bunker project went very well. There are three small bunkers on #16. The two bunkers in the front of the greens complex were very easy to renovate. The back one had our first signs of major ground squirrel damage. There were areas of the bunker in the back that needed to be dug up and properly shaped. This was very difficult because the ground under the sand was very firm. Some areas of the drain lines were also contaminated with dirt due to the excessive work the ground squirrels had done. Eventually we shaped the bunker so that it had its original edge and began to line it with the SandMat. The process was slow due to the hard ground. The 10" staples would not penetrate, so we were limited to using 6".
