Spring Bunker Refurbishment

We have recently been busy refurbishing the bunkers on both courses ahead of the new playing season. The bunkers have been edged, cleaned out and fresh sand added as and where required.

For the bunkers where the sand is more compacted we have been using a small machine that we have recently purchased,which is called a Mantis. The Mantis is a lightweight cultivator that can tiller the sand to a depth of between 50mm/100mm and is a perfect solution to sand that has become compacted, particularly after heavy rain.
