The last I read, TV only encouraged raking, not required it? And like what others have experienced here, I have been in a bunker, took a rake with me, and upon walking back, I discovered there were so many foot prints/divots, that I couldn't keep track of mine?! As for the Ambassadors(former here), we don't rake bunkers, we only realign them the way JohnW showed. Which I found different than up north? Some placed inside, some outside, but most of them emphasized lining the stick with the direction of play, so it did not impede a golf shot(i.e. stopping the roll), which affected their lie? Here they merely want them straight in from the edge.
