U.S. Air Force Worried About German (Golf) Bunkers

May 10, 9:50 am ET 

BERLIN (Reuters) - The U.S. Air Force needs to fix its bunkers at the
Spangdahlem base in Germany -- because they are not up to U.S. Golf
Association standards. 

The base in the Eifel mountains, home to the air force's 53rd fighter
squadron, boasts a nine-hole golf course for its 12,000 staff and their
dependents. 

But work to expand the air field has left the course in a sorry state, a
spokeswoman said. "It's not up to par," she said. 

A tender published by the air force this week asks for the course to be
upgraded by May 31 so it can be "rated for handicap purposes." 

"Contractors must be certified to renovate golf course bunkers," it
said.
