The @the_sink_hole is going to be special. I can’t talk highly enough of the job @Chrishccllc has done. @OldeStoneBG @golfarchitect @wyattwarfel

First wave of equipment, loaded up and ready to build some @Billy_Bunker in Tennessee.

I haven’t posted much in a while but this scene this morning inspired me. For those that haven’t experienced newly constructed bunkers using one of the modern methods, this is an un-raked, un-touched Better-Billy Bunker in its sixth season the morning after over three inches of torrential rain. #fairview #bunker #betterbilly #greenwich #golf #golfcoursemaintenance #reesjones #golflife #turflife

The sun is finally shining at The Country Club in Morristown Tennessee allowing us to continue with our @Billy_Bunker renovation. Final product is looking great ! @DanielSmith_BBB

Better Billy Bunker Demonstration. BBB is a porous liner that is installed after bunker construction and drainage is completed. 4” of sand will be put in on top of the liner.

Had a great time the other day taking a spin through the Sink Hole par-3 course at The Club at Olde Stone in Bowling Green, Kentucky with Dan Smith. Loads of fun!

10” of rain so far this week @seatrailresort . No water or wash in completed bunkers @Billy_Bunker

[Daniel G Smith @DanielSmith_BBB]

Had an outstanding visit to The Keep @The_McLemore to check out the progress by Southeastern Golf. Spectacular site with amazing views. Great work by Bergin Golf Designs and Rees Jones, Inc. Proud to have @Billy_Bunker installed at this great facility. @bergingolf @SteveWeisser

2.5” of rain immediately following sand installation. The construction methods combined with Better Billy Bunker are showing an immediate payoff for the Club. @DanielSmith_BBB

“The changes we’ve made give the course bigger scale, make it more appealing to the eye and gives it some much needed oomph,” says Kevin Hargrave on the renovated Lexington course, which has reopened for play https://t.co/ABehKJhhV1

Great to see a bunker come to life. Hopefully the incoming weather doesn’t set us back too badly. @DanielSmith_BBB

[Environmental Landscaping Inc. @envlandgolf]

Great couple of weeks at The Country Club in Morristown Tennessee installing @Billy_Bunker. Project turned out great!

[Billy Bagwell @BillyBagwell]

Approaching 5 inches of rain, the investment into the golf course is clearly seen. 16+ year old greens & bunkers vs new greens & @Billy_Bunker Great shaping, surface runoff, infiltration & bunker spec gets clear putting surfaces and 0 washouts. Can’t wait to complete Palmetto!

Nice to have Todd @jinx97 take time out of his visit today to stop and chat with our Grounds rotary Team…they put a tremendous amount of effort into presenting the golf course to Membership daily 👏👏👏@DanielSmith_BBB @Billy_Bunker

[Goose @Goosethcc]

4.2 inches rain in less than 24 hours. Our @Billy_Bunker are a bunker game Changer ! Zero issues.

[LHCC Grounds @GriffithsJayson]

Did not spend 💰 a “nickel” on bunkers today…with another 1.6” of rainfall ☔️ this weekend brings the total precipitation to 3.25” over the past 10 days…fans 💨, needle tines, and plant health strategies/disease 🦠protection heading into the forecast sauna 🥵 this week…

[Nathan Crace, ASGCA, PLA @lipouts]

Sprigging of greens wraps up today at Hampton Hall Club with @NewLifeTurf1 and @LandscapesGolf, then they’ll finish up the install of @Billy_Bunker + bunker sand and sod on a handful of tees. @GPIDrainage continues to rock ‘n roll. Finish line is in sight.

[Darren J Davis, CGCS @DarrenJDavisGCS]

Last night we received the first significant rainfall of summer - 1.5” in 1/2 an hour As I walked the back 9 this a.m. I was reminded why we selected the @Billy_Bunker system We had 3 areas that had a minor “channel” The crew and the golfers are thrilled! #OldeFloridaGolfClub

[Goose @Goosethcc]
