What are the superintendents saying about these liners?
Robert Stone from The Honors Course in Ooltewah, Tennessee commenting on the product Sand Dam which is
made of non-biodegradable polyester and synthetic binders.
“Overall, it’s done well…adding that there have been some problems with the fabric sticking up out of
the sand.” “You have so many things to do and sometimes you get a little low on sand and somehow
may hit the fabric, so you’ll see a piece that sticks up.”
Sean Dyer, golf course maintenance director at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California
commenting on fabric liners.
“I’ve used them at two different construction projects and they both peeled up very easily within a year
or two,” he says. “The mechanical bunker rake always finds it, and it’s kind of a nightmare.” The
amounts of staples needed were a concern for Dyer, too, because of their nature to pop up due to
freeze/thaw cycles.”
