Value for Money

We pride ourselves in ….

Affordability!

One consistent factor relating to bunkers in general is that most clubs under-spend to avoid the outlay of investing “long-term” in a bunker lining solution that not only saves your club money, but adds to the clubs bottom line through increased number of rounds of golf, improved course ratings, minimised expenditure on maintenance and an increase in membership through pride of member association.

Further to this, a course in all-round grand condition (with bunkers playing a massive part of this), appeal to media and golfers for events, tournaments and to add to one’s bucket list.

Choices

There are dozens, if not hundreds of bunker lining solutions in the marketplace. In fact there are many that aren’t in the marketplace because they have been installed by the turf manager himself as a “possible” solution to the bunker problem.

This is common as the committees that control the budgets almost always overlook the fact that bunkers are the most expensive part of a golf course to maintain.

Typically bunker renovations occur every couple of years with the bunkers being the bug-bear of the turf staff and golfers always complimenting all aspects of the course … except the bunkers, which bare negative comment and criticism.

The turf manager appeals every year to up the bunker budget. Denied!

Ratings drop … denied.

Eventually realisation sets in.

Budget created, but budget inadequate for a proper renovation. Just another patch job. Polishing a turd!

In just a few years, the process starts all over again.

Repeat!

Well, the good news is that Bunker Armour™ is both affordable, renovation can be structured in stages and will not only create value to your club, but will add to your bottom line.

Ease of Maintenance

Bunker Armour® saves course maintenance staff thousands of hours in general bunker maintenance.

The figures regarding annual bunker maintenance vary significantly depending on the club, location, maintenance program and the number/are of bunkers on the golf course.

With that Bunker Armour® creates significant savings regarding ongoing maintenance in the following ways:

– Less sand – Bunkers fitted with Bunker Armour® require an average of 25% less bunker sand in them by comparison to others. This is due to the fact that the bunker walls do not require excessive sand upon them (4 inches as prescribed by most concrete liner providers).

– With 25% less sand, the cost of sand maintenance (raking, stabilising, replenishing and returning into position after washouts) is reduced proportionately.

– The suggested annual sand replacement percentage of between 20-40% (USGA suggestion) is significantly reduced through the efficiency of the Bunker Armour® product.

– Daily maintenance and raking time is significantly reduced due to minimise contamination, minimal sand to return “up” the bunker faces and to redistribute sand due to golfers taking stances in excessive amounts of sand.

– Repair to bunkers due to the bunker size increasing as a result of aggressive hard-edging is simple and quick. No need to call in the product provider to repair or rebuild the bunker.
