    Ok...I do take some issue with this way of checking sand depth in bunkers. Moving that much sand with the foot would create an area of softer sand when filled back in. This would create pockets of soft vs firm sand in that Bunker. My preferred method is to use a flat shovel to probe the various areas of the bunker. Much less intrusive.

      His way doesn't mix the dirt in as much. Better over time.

    Good video. Shows many different techniques for different situations. Preparing them properly at beginning of season makes them easier to take care of during season. Sand Pro's can be time savers but also can destroy or damage smaller bunkers.

    After reading the comments I feel like im not the only groundskeeper that would rather let the sand bunkers grow in

    I always enjoy seeing the grounds crew change up bunker rake styles makes the game fun and more of a challenge if your aim was off a bit

      We don’t have time for all that there’s a lot of bunkers to get through.

    If that's the only bunker on your course then you're good lol sand pro and rake the edges, job done

    Fuck bunker care. I love working on golf courses but I detest bunkers. Our course has like 2-3 on each hole. Even worse when you have less crew.

      yes let them grow in I say!

  • @matthawkins4579

    The flat raking of the facing is what we do as well. We do not want any uneven stances or worse, fried egg lies.

    It'll take the bunker crew at least 12 hours to make their way through 18.

      Flat ranking adds A LOT of time.

      Flat rake after the sand pro. Problem solved

      @@tom111869 no it doesn't, you will find the flat face will compact and does not need raked every day.

    I just take the sand pro and use a leaf rake around the perimeter

    • @harrisonrutledge5
      @harrisonrutledge5 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ryan Miller exactly. I’m an Assistant and I just use the pro with an aussie rake for the sides when done. Works like a charm.

    Woodbridge bunkers are either hard pan or way too much sand, also full of stones that ruin my wedges.

    @TheCynicalDude_ 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Seems like a ton of time wasted, honestly. We just use sand pros. This must be a course that doesn't have a lot of play... so they have time to spend like that fucking around on bunkers.

    • @tom111869
      @tom111869 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Sand Pro's wear down bunker edges and some bunkers are either too small or too deep for a Sand Pro. I don't think any greenside bunker should have a Sand Pro used in it.
