# 10 completed with the liner. Time for new sand!
The liner creates barrier from the subsoil to sand. It is porous and allows for water to pass.




None of the bunkers have liners from the original construction. Bunker liners will aid in keeping rocks out of the sand and also help hold sand on the face of the bunker.



David is in the process of rennovating the left greenside bunkers on the South. He has taken out all of the old sand and rocks and is putting a bunker liner in two of bunkers so we can see if we want to use the liner in the future.

Here is Mateo spraying weeds in #8 waste bunker. Last week we finished spraying all the weeds in the waste bunkers.
#5 green North has always been a weak area because of nematodes. We are making an effort to improve this area by placing fresh sod and soil. We had good success with plugging a few areas in this same location last year.

Jose is verticutting the blue tee on #9 South
We brought in two tree experts to examine the tree by #8 green South. It's believed that the left half of the tree is suffering due to lightning damage. We are doing our best to nurse it back to health.
