Bob McCurdy, golf course superintendent at the Country Club of Detroit, posted this photo of the pile of staples removed during the tear-out of the fabric liners from the bunkers at CCD.

“To date, we have completed removing the staples on 21 of 71 bunkers on the course and this photo shows just how many staples are in the old bunkers. By our counts, we estimate that there are 9 staples per every square foot. That means a single 2000 square foot bunker contains as many as 15,000 – 18,000 staples, maybe more!!”
