The head greenkeeper has initiated the renovation of all the green-side bunkers on the course. This is being carried out by an external contractor. Their team currently comprises three men who all live on the course in caravans.
The renovation includes the removal of all the sand, right to the base and the top of the drainage. Once they reach the base they also remove a layer of gravel on top of the drainage. It appears that this layer is usually contaminated with layers of silt and/or clay. This inhibits free movement of water into the drain and results in flooding in the bunkers.
