Turfgrass Mystery: how was this bunker revetted?
27 December 2012
Revetted bunkers are usually constructed with stacked pieces of sod. When I visited David Bataller at the PGA Catalunya Resort, he showed me this revetted bunker. He built it using natural materials, but he didn't use turfgrass sod. The question was, just what material is this?
The correct answer is cork, given first by Dr. Brett Morris,
and then by Dave Wilber:@asianturfgrass if in Spain, cork?
