Bunker work impossible to draw in plans

Yesterday I spent the day working alone, getting a feel for the process we would be using for this waste area, and others. Today I plucked a new associate... assistant Chief Strong Back (Piotr) to continue cutting sod and delivering it.

Below illustrates the process. It's not something you can mail in or make the odd site-visit to do. It's specialty work... getting a feel for what is and can be done, and keeping in mind how it can and should be maintained. It's why I only build one-golf-course-at-a-time... to get all the detail possible, and seize on all the opportunities.

Remember we're getting the basic forms accomplished, and the interior of the bunker where weed and grass has taken over will be covered in sand in.
















Starting point.
















To the right you can see where the sods won from the bunker edge have been to good use shaping the interior of the bunker.


















The bunker interior formalized. Once the bunker is completed, we will go back, and clean out the grass and weed, and add sand to that which exists.
