Bunker dig day 2

Another beautiful morning and we were straight back on with verti draining fairways and digging out the bunker on the 10th fairway. We made a good start yesterday with all the top soil removed and the face shaped roughly. 
Once the shape was established the subsoil could be removed maintaining the correct base level. Whilst digging out the base the edges could be beveled off to ensure the bunker blends naturally into the contours of the fairway. Then turf could be returned around the edge.
Tomorrow we will finish removing the subsoil and shape the remaining edges.
