This morning we had some issues with the new rake thanks to our high organic matter and fines sand in the bunkers. We were finally able to smooth the wet sand but it was taking twice as long as it should ... we will be testing other rakes soon.

Additionally, being slightly behind thanks to a two and half hour frost delay we got started on the test bunkers. !0's test bunker, front right, we tilled deeply, watered in and smooth and is already back open for play.

10's bunker is so soft it is difficult to smooth out and will take a couple irrigation cycles to become smooth again. We also added sand to the front right bunker on 12 but sadly this sand that we had was full rocks and took a while to clean ... it will be back open for play today at the end of the maintenance team's shift.

The last test bunker located on 11's left side front of the green will take a bit longer to complete. Due to sod being added it hopefully will be completed today and will be GUR for at least another week after.
