What would you think if you went to a $60 per round course, where the bunkers were dragged everyday by the grounds crew but there were no rakes for golfers to use after bunker shots?

Good catch.I think you left out "not" in the OP because it says there were rakes. It would suck having to hit out of a fat footprint but, by definition, bunkers are hazards so why should they need to be pristine at all times?
just a hypotheticalIt would sound like that course is still invoking COVID requirements.
I've played this year, more than in the last feW years combined, one course had rakes and holes installed correctly.
Give it a few more weeks.
no more bunker shots? LaaaaaaaaameLocally some of the courses took the rakes out and said to drop outside the bunker because of covid.
Hmmmm.....methinks ol' Hammy is gonna be invoking this for a few years. Every bunker shot will be pulled with the invocation of "Covid."Locally some of the courses took the rakes out and said to drop outside the bunker because of covid.
Man, I think you should have to hit out of a footprint. It's a hazard. Don't go in there.My Tuesday and Sunday courses don't have rakes.
Course of action is to 'Foot" rake and place.
It will be forever called a "Fauci drop".Hmmmm.....methinks ol' Hammy is gonna be invoking this for a few years. Every bunker shot will be pulled with the invocation of "Covid."
I can endorse this idea.It will be forever called a "Fauci drop".
"I'm gonna take a Fauci on this one."I can endorse this idea.
But why lift and clean the foot print? Why should you get a good lie in a hazard?Since the pandemic, courses over here have not had rakes in them, so the usual option if you are in a footprint is to lift the ball, rake with your foot and place the ball within 6 inches of where it was
I have done it a couple times, but if the lie isn't that bad I will just play it as it lies
I've cursed the footprint. Played out of it. Then raked the damn bunker.But why lift and clean the foot print? Why should you get a good lie in a hazard?
Why should people later in the day be given a worse lie than those who go out first after the grounds crew have done the bunkers?But why lift and clean the foot print? Why should you get a good lie in a hazard?
