Old Course Greenkeepers - Hell Bunker Rebuild Time-Lapse

This time-lapse was recorded as the Old Course Greenkeeping team, led by Course Manager Gordon McKie, rebuild the infamous Hell Bunker on the 14th hole of the Old Course. The work took place during the winter months of 2014/15 in preparation for the 144th Open Championship.

I have always had an appreciation for fine Scottish outdoor sculpture.

I'm quite surprised we don't see more bunkerless courses. Having worked in the industry for 15 years...unless you are bringing something truly special to the table with your bunkering and design...they are money pits and in reality bunkers today, for the most part, are not even penal. Obviously St. Andrew's is one of the exceptions but I'll take closely mown collection areas and uneven lies to ramp up the difficulty anyday. Great video!

Hi 👋. Please what is the life of this bunkers walls?

[@keydogg]

How do you guys prepare the drainage and base of the bunker? Do you use some kind of blinding layer to keep the base from migrating into the sand?
