If I see someone in front of me, walk through a bunker and not rake it, I call them out. If I'm close enough to see them not fill/replace a divot ... I say something.

Barring clubs providing babysitters on every hole, the only way it's going to change, is for golfers to call out their playing partners and others they see, abusing the golf course. See something, say something.
Said this before and saying this again. All courses need the wider rakes.Takes 2-3 more strokes to rake sand with the narrow rakes in TV(champ and exec courses).
