It could also be argued that <strong>if the rake is in the bunker<\/strong> it is most unlikely that the ball will be deflected out of the bunker.<\/p>\n<p>However, in practice, players who leave rakes in bunkers frequently leave them <strong>at the side<\/strong> which tends to stop a ball rolling into the flat part of the bunker, resulting in a much more difficult shot than would otherwise have been the case. This is most prevalent at a course where the bunkers are small. When the ball comes to rest on or against a rake in the bunker and the player must proceed under Rule 24-1, it may not be possible to replace the ball on the same spot or find a spot in the bunker which is not nearer the hole \u2013 see Decision 20-3d\/2.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, after considering all these aspects, it is recommended that rakes should be left <strong>outside bunkers<\/strong> in areas where they are least likely to affect the movement of the ball.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should rakes be placed in or outside bunkers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4546,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[119],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-golf-rules-etiquette"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140529.jpg",1920,1440,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140529-180x180.jpg",180,180,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140529-480x270.jpg",480,270,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140529-800x450.jpg",800,450,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140529-1280x720.jpg",1280,720,true],"mini":["https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140529-90x90.jpg",90,90,true],"passfoto":["https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140529-300x400.jpg",300,400,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140529.jpg",1536,1152,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140529.jpg",1920,1440,false],"product_image_size":["https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140529.jpg",1200,900,false],"product_image_size_small":["https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140529.jpg",800,600,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"bernhard","author_link":"https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/en\/author\/bernhard\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Should rakes be placed in or outside bunkers?","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.golfclub-achensee.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
