So well said , courtesy for other players seems to some, just let the ambassador do it that is their job. Another gripe is players playing back tees when it takes two shots to the green on a hundred yard hole, move up to the forward tees .

Whenever I am playing with someone that walks out of the trap without raking I just tell them "I'll get that". Usually they get the message and rake the next time... usually....

Since when is correct golf course etiquette optional?

Sorry folks
Covid. No rakes. No flags. Mask in waiting bullpen areas. |

I think I did in a previous post. It's a "touchable" item and up to the discretion of an individual, with this paranoia of Covid if they want to "touch" something that someone they don't know has previously "touched". It's pure paranoia with a touch of laziness, and a lousy excuse to not rake if you ask me.

Maybe for you but not if you have any concern for the people playing behind you. If you don't rake bunkers you shouldn't play at all.

Right now we are in a covid infection threat. I play golf twice a week but am reluctant to pick up a rake although I do it occasionally if I've severely messed up the sand. Long ago the rule became if you were in an unraked area, you can move your ball to a smooth area in the sand. It's not a big deal to do so and remember, it's just a game. We aren't pros and aren't trying to win a million dollars. With 21 new cases in the Villages yesterday, the worst it has been, I probably won't rake and I think they should remove the rakes again. It's not worth getting covid over.

So they don’t want to touch the rake, so I assume those that don’t also play with a mask on. 😎

I just carry a mini sanitizer in my pocket and use after any contact with common items. Backup in cart and in bag. No I do not wear a glove, haven’t since my teens.

As explained, raking traps remains optional. If your ball lands in an unraked spot....move it, this is not a PGA Tourney. Lighten Up people.

In many states , due to Covid 19 , rakes for bunkers are no longer put out on the courses. New rules are you can lift clean and place after smoothing out sand with your foot if you don’t want to play it as it lies . Keep in mind how many people handle the rakes and do you use hand sanitizer after touching the rake or use a sanitizing wipe on the handle after you touch the rake . Could be people are cautious not to touch the rakes due to Covid 19 concerns.
Flag sticks must be left in , no touching. Which leaving the flag stick in actually speeds up play . |
