Thought it would be cool to share some pics of the places we play on occasion. I'll start it off. The place where I used to play is a gem of a public cours...

Is that a waste bunker or just a gravel bunker?

I would guess it is the gravel drainage layer - sand on next layer?

they even put French drains in that bunker! Fancy!

looking at the edges it seems they are the right height for a bunker. To put 3 inches of sand in there....

Exactly. All the crushed gravel is 4-6" in depth, then it gets sprayed with an industrial strength gorilla glue, then new sand.

Spare no expense @ TPC River's Bend. 😉

installing proper drainage and constructing a bunker with attention to detail will pay for itself over the long run with reduced maintenance requirements compared to doing a crap job.

Local course I play did that, but they sprayed the rock with some sort of epoxy so it never moves but still drains. Do you guys do that as well?

Here's my boss Ian (great guy), explaining the process of "Better Billy Bunker".

Why do they call it a "Better Billy Bunker.....?"

18th tee at North Creek. Sucky day playing off the mud (it rained again yesterday) for the most part, but I birdied 17 and just missed a 20 footer for birdie on this one. It doglegs left past the bunkers to an island green as a short, 475 yard par 5 from the silver tees. Haven’t played here in over 10 years. None of the bunkers had sand. Not sure if that is due to neglect or if they are redoing them as a winter project.

Cwing how did u shoot? And did you play any other courses in the area?

Not well at all. Day one was Erin Hills. Warm enough for shorts. Day two was Whistling Straits Irish Course and almost a wash out. Day 3 was Blackwolf Run Meadow Valley in AM and Blackwolf Run River in the PM courses were soaked. Whistling Straits was last with an arctic blast coming through. Winds gusting up to 40 mph.

Weather was not good but ........ loved the trip. Played Pinehurst in 2018 with the same group and we are headed to Bandon Dunes in August 2020
