Edging bunkers

With the weather being good for the last couple of weeks we have finally been able to catch up on a few things that we have had to put on hold whilst we concentrated on cutting and water removal in the past few weeks. Yesterday and today we have made good progress into edging the bunkers across the course. Firstly the bunker is shimmed around the edge to remove any rhizomes that may be spreading through the sand, then the edge of the bunker is strimmed to remove the long grass.
We then tidy up the debris, check sand levels and rake the bunker ready for play.
