Since everything got freaky about 2 years ago with the virus regarding touching everything, I bought a small expandable rake that I still carry along.

The Villages have their own rules on rakes and bunkers. For other viewpoints, see the following.

No , because it’s not allowed

You don't see players driving golf carts all over the fairways, close to the greens and traps on PGA tournaments on the TV either....The rakes are to be left in the traps perpendicular to the edge after your rake your footprints smooth (and others if necessary). If rakes were left on the grass sides, they'd be run over by golf carts, bent or broken, and you'd have less rakes for the trap. The also allow the cutting people to cut without having to stop and move rakes all the times.

Do you play golf? You understand pace of play and having to walk 50-75 yards to get a rake to play a bunker shot slows down your group and others on the course.

If you don't play golf, Please don't comment, please.
