Rakes. Where to leave them

[Arthur Wedge]

I think they should be propped up against the nearest bush.

What if it’s a links course

Plenty gorse bushes on some links courses.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

What?!!

Ours are also done twice a week , the members can rake them the other days when they go in

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Plenty gorse bushes on some links courses.

Not many near a bunker though and plenty without gorse bushes

The overriding answer is there isn’t a one answer fits all for all courses

Then please do explain

Count lippe explained it very well.

As suspected, trying and failing to be clever.

A number of courses have GPS mapped robot mowers that will do bunkers etc - a bit like the robot shopping deliveries etc

They will go around things but rakes in the way will be a pain

What if my comment was made in jest

Not really, just common sense. My golf club has introduced robot mowers, but seems like you’re not prepared to believe in them yet.

What is a hambuger anyway?

I hate it when I hit a shot that looks like it is missing the bunker but then hits the rake handle and deflects into the bunker. Rakes should always in in the bunker IMHO.

I've played over 2000 rounds, not sure that had ever happened to me. If it had, would have been years ago and long forgotten.

Probably not high up in my personal frustrations on golf. Though, if it was, I suppose the rake could equally deflect my ball away from the bunker. Swings and roundabouts

I can't ever remember that happening to me , I do have various memories of the rake stopping my ball from rolling in the middle of the bunker and leaving me in a terrible position

Can I ask how many times that had happened to you? How many times would it definitely have not gone in the bunker?

Probably as many times as it hit a rake in a bunker and it was deflected out

Anyone else getting a strong sense of deja poo

The same crap being regurgitated again and again

Can you rake it over and start again? Assuming the rake was in the right place.

When I started playing my uncle told me to leave rakes IN bunkers as "you don't want it to stop someone's ball going in now do you?" Seems fair enough. I've never done differently
