Exactly. I find rakes laying up in the grass in all positions possible and find them in the middle of the bunkers. I'm no angel but it's apparent there are a lot of people not attending good golf class. There is a picture at every starter shack showing how to place the rakes. By the way I hit two good balls Friday. Stepped on a rake!
