SuperDave Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Not sure if I have commented on this before, but what I like to do is leave it partially in so the handle is sticking out and depending on the bunker, possibly sticking up. That way no one has to bend over to far to grab it. I think it's the courtesy thing to do. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perseveringgolfer Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 IN the bunker and IN the middle of the bunker or the handle could stop a rolling ball on a sandy downslope. Rakes left outside and usually in rough are sometimes hard to find until you stand on it and maybe get whacked in the face, or twist your ankle, or puncture your shoe Driver Awaiting NEW Driver (after 10 yrs) 4 Wood Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead plus 4+ Callaway shaft in 'Firm' flex Hybrid Titleist 910H 19* Diamana ahina 'flower' shaft in 'S' Irons Mizuno MP18SC 4-PW N.S Pro Modus3 Tour 105 in 'S' Wedges Callaway Mack Daddy forged in black 50* and 54* KBS Tour in 'R' Putter 'YES' Tracy 11 C groove 34.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palvord Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Out. Makes the most sense since you have to rake the bunker from middle to outside based on where you entered the bunker.

00sportsman Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I thought of this thread yesterday. I played a course in a gated community that I hadn't played before and this was their solution. It was the first time I'd seen this and it wouldn't work too well for walkers, but since they don't allow walking it makes sense to me. Even the resident carts had them.

Some people left rakes near bunkers because it's the only course like this in the area so people don't remember to take them with them back to the cart.

HighFade Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 My personal preference is rakes outside the bunker because I might get lucky and it will keep my ball from going in the bunker. That's why I try to leave them out of the bunker, and closer to the tee than the hole. Might just save someone! There is no spoon.

NiftyNiblick Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Have a kid holding the rake on every hole if not every bunker. Golf isn't expensive enough yet. This way, the club can pay the kids (prevailing union wage, I would certainly hope) and raise our dues... Plus, we'll need to tip them on top of it. That will teach us to play an elitist game!

fixyurdivot Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Most courses I play have them out of the bunker and on the green side. The times I or others in the group hit a rake is when they are left in front of the bunker. It's probably the same guys who lay the pin perpendicular, a couple feet on the downhill side of the cup .

At my course most greenside bunkers cannot be accessed from the green side; too steep. So there are no rakes there. Although it's not a penalty anymore to hit the pin when putting on the green, hitting the pin when it's put in a position that helps a player is still a penalty. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickp Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I've starting leaving them in. But no clue why started happening one day and haven't stopped. I don't know what's right in the world anymore I’d mention it B4 but in this area the courses want the rakes in the bunkers. I asked why and the answer was that most of the grass cutting, maintenance etc is done at night or dawn and this keeps the rakes away from the equipment.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
