Tips and tricks for the new bunkers!

 With the new bunkers that means that we have to do things a little bit different, I was able to enlist the help from the pro shop for a couple tricks on how to get out of the new bunkers!



Like we mentioned in the video the bunkers will play a little soft for the time being as the sand is still very fresh and will take time to fully settle and firm up.

Just as a final reminder we are not trying earn our mountain climbing merit badge out on the course. We can't stress it enough to please enter and exit the bunker through the shallowest side of the bunker. This is for your safety as well the health of the bunkers. To get a extra gold star from Steve after you have hit your shot and raked the bunker please place the bunker rake on the outside of the bunker.

We want to avoid pulling sand to the edge of the bunker, as over time the sand will build up on the edge of the bunker.



We as well want to avoid leaving the rakes right on the steepest part of the slope, as this makes the rakes inaccessible to members playing behind you.

As always we ask you to please come right to us with any questions and we will be happy to answer!
