Bunker Drainage!

I have discovered that many bunkers at OCGC do not drain well, or at all.  It took two men and a large pump to pump water out of the bunkers after a rain event.  Then the bunker has to dry out and firm up before it can be power raked.  I also purchased a Honda pump which can be handled by one man.  This seemed like a waste of efficiency and manpower.  It was decided we would correct the worst offenders.  What I discovered was drains installed that "drained" uphill, crushed pipe, drains that were contaminated. The first picture was crushed pipe from 11 Newport fairway bunker.  The second picture is the repaired couping.  The third picture is a crushed drain from 3 green Newport.  The last picture is a project we completed on 15 Newport.  The front of the green suffered from wet wilt last summer, along with the approach.  As we hand dug into the gravel laver of the green, water seeped out and down the trench.  We tied the new drain intothe existing bunker drain that runs into 16's pond.  The result will be improved, consistent conditions.  My hope is the bunkers will become more consistent and better playability.
