Currently we have 25 bunkers on the course, over the next few days we will have completed the upgrade to the bunker on right of hole No:4
The debris removed + the contaminated old sand will be used to fill part of the left of the 4th hole.
We intend to fill in/reduce in size some of the remaining 25 and also enlarge ones as required. All progress and changes will be logged on this blog......
