Not trying to hijack your post, but the industry "standard" for bunkers in general needs to change and I believe it will so.
They are just plain too damned expensive to maintain. I would like to be raking mine 2-3 days a week maximum, less if I could, not edging, not making pretty and not worrying about them too much. There is an enormous budgetary savings to be had in them there sand traps. Biggest cost cutting measure available to us all in these difficult financial times.
They are still a "hazard" as defined by the rules of golf and should be treated as such. This has been covered before, but it's time for a revolution.
