-We are fortunate at Atlanta Athletic Club that the club is closed on Mondays. This allows us to do jobs that we are not able to complete in as timely of a manner Tuesday-Friday, when the club is open. Mowing bunker faces is one the tasks we complete every Monday. We use flymo mowers are used complete task, these are mowers that do not have wheels and move by creating a cushion of air between the mower and the ground allowing the mower to hover. This allows the mower to move in any direction and mow steep banks without scalping.
- The bunker are edged every other week to two weeks depending on how fast the grass is growing. This process begins after the flymo mowers have mowed. First, the sand is pulled off the faces of the bunker to allow for a sharp clean cut. Then, a weedeater is used to put that clean edge of the bunker. The last part of the process is to blow the grass clipping out of the bunker, push the sand back up on the bunker faces, and rake the bunker.
- The interns take on the responsibility of making sure all bunkers are mowed, raked, and that the crew is completing the process in a timely fashion. This allows our interns to find out what it is like to run a crew and the importance of detail.
