Sand daM™ bunker media has been a favorite of golf course superintendents for many years.
Sand daM™ medias are designed for use in golf course sand traps that are exposed to substantial amounts of rainfall. These products provide protection in two important ways:
- Prevents erosion - holds the sand in the trap
- Prevents contamination of sand when there is not adequate drainage after a severe rainstorm - acts as a barrier between the sand and soil below.
Hi Performance Sand daM™
- Prevents washouts and contamination.
- Field tested by civil engineers to stabilize sand on slopes as severe as 60°!
- Can be cut and trimmed with propane torch to save labor cost during installation.
- Will NOT lift out if accidental contact occurs with maintenance tools or golf clubs!
- Open-mesh, bonded fibers allow water movement to drains while sand particles remain in place.
- No drainage "slowdown"
- Constructed of non-biodegradable polyester and synthetic binders.
- Sand daM™ has the durability and resistance to withstand all weather elements and is virtually unaffected by chemicals and water conditions found in golf course environments.
Sand daM™ MR
- Ideal for projects where high performance and low cost are required.
- Has excellent erosion capabilities working on slopes up to 50°!
- Can be cut and trimmed quickly with a propane torch to help save time and more money by saving labor costs during installation.

or flat-bottomed fairway bunkers. - Prevents contamination of costly bunker sand.

Satisfied Customer Comments
"Now when we get the downpours Houston frequently gets, our Sand daM™-lined traps are ready for play with little or no touch-up," Wille said. "The cost associated with maintaining these bunkers during an entire season has been reduced nearly 100% from years before our renovation. A case in point happened during a tropical storm that dumped 13 1/2 inches of rain in one day. The first bunker we had done 5 years ago showed no signs of sand erosion, nor did the other, more recent ones"

"Sand daM™ has really helped us in preparing for the Texas Open. It helps prevent washouts from heavy rains that historically occur weeks before the event."
