Final Touches on Sand Valley's New Hell Bunker








Before.









After.

A rainy November 8, 2010, the new "Hell" bunker is completed.











Before.










After. The soil pile to the left will be spread about in the coming days.











Hell Bunker in its ancient unraked form. Notice the left is lower than the right; ours is reversed.














Hell Bunker in 1950.















Today, Hell Bunker is a barely recognizable from its original form.









Today I was up a little earlier, 05:00... and on the course setting the grass clumps in place an hour later under the lights of a utility vehicle. Not long after it stared raining again, as I was trying to get some shots to document the conversion.

I think it looks pretty good, and adds another dimension to the hole... entering the player's mind on the tee shot. One thing is certain... nobody will be losing their balls here anymore.
