but it is a special place we have here. Even if a machine/people raked the bunkers every morning when a person enters the bunker they should always rake it properly when leaving it. This helps ensure that the next person in gets a proper chance of a good lie.
Just because you and others haven't bothered to learn how to properly execute a bunker shot doesn't mean you should not be giving someone the best lie you can. It's not just etiquette...it's good manners and consideration.
Just as bad...people dragging their feet on the greens...there goes any chance of a semi-smooth surface on which to putt. If you can't lift your feet then wear smooth tennis shoes.
