Bunker Blinder

After an investigation in to the new bunker base product called the Blinder Bunker Liner but bunker blinder to all the greenkeepers that use it, a decision was made to trial this product on our worst bunker. It was felt that the 14th green side bunker was the worst or at least the one that has never been 'quite right'.
The product is a rubber base liner that lays along the base about 25-35 mm in depth. This is very similar to stuff in the kids parks or rubber pathways on the golf course. The main difference is its porous and can cope with over 2400ml an hour as long as the drainage is right!
The benefits of this base are :-
1) Easier to maintain the bunker as less sand wash out after rain
2) No contamination of clays or stones
3) Better drainage
4) Less sand required
5) Better playability
