The bunker sand project is nearing completion, with only a couple fairway bunkers and one green bunker left to "cap". As a quick reminder, the old bunker sand was too soft, leading to fried-egg lies when landing in the hazard. This was due to the individual size and shape of each sand particle. The new sand, Pro-Angle, will alleviate this problem once all the newly applied sand has settled. We have received a very positive response from the membership regarding the new aesthetics as well.

Contamination of the new sand and the old leaves the bunker with a dirty appearance. The crew plans to keep a small amount of Pro-Angle on-site to deal with this issue. However, the only time contamination becomes a problem is when heavy rains wash out steep slopes or when golfers enter/exit the bunker on these steep slopes. We ask that members please follow proper golf etiquette and avoid stepping on the faces.
