Please Don't Call Me a Trap


We put new sand in the bunkers on holes: 5, 6 and 7. It's been over seven years since these bunkers were renovated and had new sand put in them. Over the years, dust, pollen, grass clippings, tree leaves and other contaminants have made their way into the bunkers. These contaminants completely change the characteristics of the bunkers. They tend to become more compacted and hold onto more water. The new sand will keep the bunkers softer and dryer.

You may have wondered what those dirt spots were around the golf course. The answer is that these areas were infested with a weed, Dallisgrass. Last fall we sprayed the Dallisgrass with Round-Up. We recently used a sodcutter to remove all remnants of the dead Dallisgrass, and are now in the process of sodding these areas.
