Our bunkers are rock solid at the moment, not even possible to leave a footprint in it I don't think.
There are rakes yeah. As I say you barely need to use them. Sand is so hard I can just smooth it over with my foot quickly and it looks absolutely fine.
They shouldn't need to be reminded. It's basic golf etiquette. And even if there are no rakes there is nothing to try and stop them trying to do the best they can with their shoe or club.
How’d you know if someone doesn’t tell you?
If you play golf, you will have been told, and know, that you have to rake the bunkers after you've been in them.
and there was me thinking you would want to just put a cap in there asses
And maybe that’s an uncorrected belief. I’d imagine 100% of this forum would know as they are detailed enough to come onto a forum like this to find answers to things but juniors are prime examples. Some places don’t teach them etiquette and half the parents don’t play. Heck some academy courses don’t even have rakes. Now these are growing up around the game completely oblivious to any wrong until someone pulls them up about it.If you play golf, you will have been told, and know, that you have to rake the bunkers after you've been in them.
As a straw poll, I'd guess that if you asked everyone on here what the bunker rules are, you can bet they will know they should rake them after use.
This is not lack of knowledge. This is just plain selfishness. It's like repairing pitch marks and replacing divots. Clubs put up signs in and out of the clubhouse and people still don't fix them. I've even heard some people say that's what the green staff are for.
If the bunker is frozen just play PW it probably has the least bounce try pick it off the sand like a pitch shot.
