New Sand in Bunkers

We have ordered new sand for all the bunkers at both Huron Hills and Leslie Park. We are almost finished spreading the sand in the bunkers at Huron and will soon begin the bunkers at Leslie.

One of the worst bunkers was the fairway bunker on #12 at Huron Hills. It did not look like it was filled with sand, but rocks and soil. We scrapped all of the previous "sand" out and replaced it entirely with new bunker sand. This will hopefully improve, not only the play-ability of the hole, but the drainage in the bunker, as well.

The base is on the left in this picture, while the new sand is being spread out from the left.
