Bunkers are a Problem for Us...Not Just the Golfer

We are all well aware of the inconsistent sand throughout the bunkers on the course but there is also the drainage issue.  While praying for rain so much this year, I have forgotten the time it takes to get the bunkers back to somewhat respectable condition.
Grounds Crew pumping the water that won't drain!

After the water is pumped out!
The conditions after the water is pumped out are still wet for a period of time until they dry out.  A lot of labor hours go into this process and I would love to see time spent on other job details not to mention the improved playability of the bunkers if more renovation work could take place.
