Abstract: In a new method for the placement of sand, gravel or equivalent particulate material onto a sand trap, tee, putting green or other selected area of a golf course for construction or maintenance purposes, sand or other particulate material is pneumatically transported through a flexible conduit from an off-load site remote to the selected area to a nozzle positioned at the selected area and is sprayed from the nozzle onto the selected area. The new method eliminates the labor intensive prior method of wheelbarrowing sand or gravel from the off-load site to the selected site and the need then to rake or hoe the sand or gravel to properly spread it about the selected area.
