These bunkers would then sit in a flat position, rather than producing a downhill lie; they will drain better and make the hole look much better. There would be a small gap between the 2 at the front but the area between would be undulated so a ball will be directed into the left or right bunker. It will not be creating a gap to allow balls to roll onto the green. The first bunker on the right is already in a very good position, and will be tidied up and have the capillary concrete base and drainage; the 2nd bunker on the right will be altered to a more rounded shape with the car park end turned into a gradual grass runoff. If we can get the levels a soakaway will be installed. While the 18th Hole is shut we are taking the opportunity to improve the overall challenge, as well as making it visually more attractive. Whilst talking about 18, it is also great that the newly laid turf as bedded in really well and the roots have already taken, we are hoping that all the course will be back to its former glory by the 1st April. Thank you all for your patience and understanding during this time. |
