ZLine introduces zero maintenance synthetic solution for bunkers on practice facilities
S and bunkers are expensive items for golf courses to maintain , given the standards now expected by golfers . This level of maintenance is only justifiable for bunkers that get plenty of use : if a lot of players visit a bunker , then it is worth spending the money to keep it in primo condition .
But on practice ranges , where bunkers are purely aiming tools , and never get any actual play , bunker maintenance is wholly a waste of money . Thus it is tempting for course operators to dig holes on their range , fill them with sand , and leave them be . But this approach too has its problems : wind and rain will cause the bunker sand to move around and to be contaminated with other substances , reducing , even possibily eliminating , the value of having the bunker on the range in the first place . The newly-launched RANGEline product from ZLine Products , is the answer .
