Strong-Er Bunkers
11/8/2017 Golf Course Industry Magazine - October 2017 - Strong-er bunkers COVER STORY Strong-er bunkers A Golden Age course with a major championship history completes a long-awaited project. Guy Cipriano The eighth green at Canterbury Golf Club in suburban Cleveland. © GUY CIPRIANO Years of careful pitching and planning didn’t prepare the Canterbury Golf Club turf team for the equipment caravan it witnessed last September. A club that nearly had everything – major championship history, soothing land in the shadows of downtown Cleveland, golf-loving members and one of the best collection of Herbert Strong-designed greens – was beginning the physical process of correcting a painful secret by embarking on a bunker renovation. “I honestly didn’t believe it was real until I saw the equipment come down the driveway,” superintendent Mike LoPresti says. Canterbury’s bunkers had been architecturally and structurally failing for decades. LoPresti understood the plight immediately after arriving from famed Oak Hill Country Club in December 2011, yet he followed a tradition of overcoming infrastructure challenges to produce solid conditions established by longtime superintendent Terry Bonar. When grueling days of pumping, pushing, shoveling and sand swapping ended, LoPresti quietly documented the strain the bunkers placed on his team. Cleveland averages 40 inches of annual rainfall, so bunker washouts and contaminated sand are as common i n the region as losing professional football seasons. Assistant superintendent Alan Hammond, who arrived in 2013 from Oak Hill, lives near the club and experienced dozens of deflating pre-renovation mornings, passing a greenside bunker protecting the left side of the ninth green on the way to the club’s maintenance building.

In 1911 he arrived in America with his brother George who came here to play exhibitions.

I’m sure Bonar has some great stories about his wonderful work at Canterbury, including overseeing a pleth- ora of PGA tournaments, but he prefers to keep such highlights close to his vest. Earlier this year, Bonar told me of the many times he’d gaze at the course while driving out of the parking lot at the end of a day’s work and say to himself proudly, “Man, the course looks good!” But so often, Bonar says he learned that such pride can be short-lived.
