Abstract
A system and method for building and renovating golf course paths to provide an alternate golf cart path with a drainage system and durable natural path for golf. A drainage system and a layer of gravel is installed over the entire sub grade of the path. A layer of crumb rubber is placed over the gravel. A pre-polymer is sprayed onto the layer of crumb rubber and gravel to secure it in place. The polymer sprayed is permitted to cure for approximately 24-48 hours.
Claims11
A system for golf course cart path construction, said system comprising:
- a pre-polymer container;
- a pre-polymer container heater connected to said pre-polymer container in such a manner that allows for the pre-polymer container heater to heat contents of said pre-polymer container;
- a power source connected to said pre-polymer container heater such that said power source can provide power to said pre-polymer container heater;
- a diaphragm pump;
- a suction hose, wherein said suction hose connects the pre-polymer container to the diaphragm pump such that contents of the pre-polymer container can be passed through the suction hose and into the diaphragm pump;
- a spray wand;
- and
- a dispenser hose, wherein said dispenser hose connects the diaphragm pump to said spray wand such that said contents of the pre-polymer container can be passed through the diaphragm pump and into the spray wand,
- wherein the spray wand is configured to allow the even dispersing of said contents of said pre-polymer container onto a golf course cart path.
