Revetted Bunker

A golf bunker with a sloping face, towards the green, of approximately either a 135°for a greenside bunker or 145° for a fairway positioned bunker. Turves are laid flat on the base of the bunker and are gradually place one on top of each other, with each subsequent turf being positioned about 40mm back (for greenside bunkers) or 60mm back (for fairway bunkers) from the front of the one beneath it; this enables the turf to carefully follow the exposed angled slope made by hand or excavator, with gaps between the turf and the previously exposed bunker face being filled with a suitable soil. The new face of the revetted bunker will therefore by the flat sides of the turf.
