We are trialling a new method of maintaining the bunker edges on the Palms. Feedback from members has told us that golf balls are being lost in the Plateau Couch surrounding the bunkers. As a result we have come up with a novel method for dealing with this issues. Using a flame thrower we are burning the grass around the bunkers to remove the mat that has built up and reduce the spongy nature of the grass. The initial blackened look will disappear within a few days. This is an old technique used on the Links courses of Scotland in spring time.
