Rakes. Where to leave them

[Deleted member 35927]

Fill in all the bunkers....problem solved and wouldn't hurt my feelings. Put in humpty-bumps instead.....all you have to do is mow them..

I've played courses with no bunkers, they are just have tough

What's the podcast? Rake Monthly? Raking World?

The OP mentioned the title in his post - I'm not doing his advertising for him.

More to the point, do people actually know how to rake bunkers properly? My club recently filmed a video and sent it to all members showing them how to do it properly.

To be honest, any advertising for a podcast about raking bunkers is probably likely to reduce the number of listeners

Funnily enough, I was discussing this with a professional today. He plays in a lot of regional pro comps (very successfully); he said rakes in bunkers is the one piece of course etiquette which annoys him more than anything else. His view is they should always be a good distance away from bunkers to reduce the likelihood of them adversely impacting a shot.

Maybe fine if you have a caddy, from pace of play and practicality for general play they need to be very close or in bunkers.

Judging by the state of some of our bunkers the rake needs to be within 2 inches of where the player is to stand any chance of being used...God only knows what they'd be like if we had to walk a few yards to get o e....

Welcome

Have a search of the forum (top right) and enjoy reading the many various older threads discussing this subject

Everything has been posted before but new people come alone with new opinions so thanks for your input but I don’t care about your post.

The OP already started a thread on this 6 months ago, with 5 pages of replies. Are you expecting to get new and original points of view on this new thread? Or do you feel it's important to keep in touch with the latest developments in raking philosophies and technology?

Professionals say outside of bunkers
My club is in the middle of the bunker
Played today and they were in the bunker but right at the edge
