Golf bunkers
I know there a no rakes in the bunkers but could you at least TRY to smooth out your footprints with your foot or your club. Some of us still believe in “play it as it lies” in a bunker and landing in your footprint does make it more difficult.

I've been foot-raking. However, I'm not sure what our local rule is now. According to the USGA the local "committee," (that would the pro or golf management) may allow preferential lies in un-raked bunkers. You may not have to play it as it lies. Maybe another will know.

Of course we could always adopt the Pine Valley rules of never raking bunkers.

I'm not sure if the USGA would approve of it as a local rule, but these are very special circumstances. Or, we could all just agree as they do at Pine Valley, just don't hit it in there. If you do, it's your problem.

Do what a few of us do - carry your own rake for what you mess up. Fortunately, I hit in very few bunkers and no one else uses my rake.

What bunkers, you can basically putt out of these things...

I will do this once the Daily Sun stops printing ridiculous holes in ones which did not go in the hole. Hitting the PVC pipes that were previously in place is not a hole a one.

No, but it's a pretty good shot in croquet

YEs, with all that’s going on in the world...let’s worry about you “playing it as it lies”.

During these tough times, I am fairly sure that everyone would be OK if you moved the ball to a smoother area to hit from. No nearer the hole though. Unless of course if your playing in a PGA sponsored event. Things will be back to normal soon. Smile and enjoy the fact you are out there playing. Lots of places are still locked down. Perspective.

What to worry about
I can't change all the bad things going on in the world so it is fruitless to worry about them. But I do worry about bad lies in bunkers.

I agree! They should be embarrassed!

If there are no rakes, bunkers should be played with preferred lies. I.e. give yourself the same lie as if it was raked. Why are you torturing yourself.

Amen!
