Bunker Etiquette: Rake Like a Pro!
Posted on: 27 March

Nothing ruins a sand shot like someone else’s footprints. Let’s keep bunkers smooth and stress-free with these quick tips:
- Enter Low & Easy
Step in at the lowest edge near your ball—no mountain climbing required. - Bring the Rake
Take it in with you. Park it behind you before your shot for easy access. - Swing Away
Hit your shot (and hopefully escape the beach). - Rake as You Retreat
Smooth your footprints and shot area as you back out. Keep strokes straight and sand level. - Finish Strong
Step out, tidy up your exit, and leave the rake inside the bunker, parallel to play—unless your club says otherwise.
Keep It Smooth
If you hate messy bunkers, don’t leave one behind. A quick rake = happy golfers. Thanks for making the game better for everyone.
