Black Hole Sun? Black Sand Bunkers.

February 3, 2013

Vincent saw the left over black sand used in the late winter and early spring to help melt the ice from the the greens covers. Vincent thought it would look terrific in The Club's bunkers. However, another golf visionary and legend had beaten him to the punch. Jack Nicklaus was called to build a world class golf course on a former copper smelter site that was declared a government Super Fund site in 1983. Old Works of Anaconda, Montana features black sand bunkers extensively throughout the course. Slag is a by-product of the copper smelting process and mountains of the black sand are seen when driving into town.
